Il-kors fis-Software Development huwa maħsub biex jipprepara lill-istudenti biex jaħdmu fl-industrija tal-iżvilupp tal-applikazzjonijiet u l-inġinerija u jesplora l-ħiliet meħtieġa għattfassil ta ‘soluzzjonijiet tal-intrapriżi tal-IT, il-bini ta’ sistemi backend robusti, u s-soluzzjoni ta’ problemi kumplessi bl-użu tal-aħħar teknoloġiji moderni. Il-programm ikopri aspetti relatati mal-inġinerija tas-software, teknoloġiji tas-software frontend u backend, organizzazzjoni tad-data, persistenza u analiżi tad-data, l-żvilupp ta’ software ta’ apparati portabbli u aspetti tal-kwalità tas-software bħas-sigurtà u l-ittestjar. Xejriet moderni bħal Cloud, Devops, Blockchain, Machine Learning u Computer Vision huma esplorati wkoll. Il-programm jinkludi work-placements li se jippermettu lill-istudenti jiksbu esperjenza fl-industrija u jaħdmu f’ambjent professjonali. Fi tmiem tal-kors, l-istudenti jikkonkludu l-istudji tagħhom b’proġett ta’ riċerka f’qasam ta’ interess tagħhom. Il-kors huwa maħsub għal individwi li huma ħerqana li jsolvu problemi permezz tat-teknoloġija u li jixtiequ jsegwu karriera eċċitanti f’wieħed mill-pilastri fundamentali tal-ekonomija.
