About this program
As a student of Computer Science and Engineering you will learn the basic principles and methods to develop (large) software systems that are reliable, efficient and maintainable. The world runs on software nowadays, but sometimes it runs into the wrong direction... Why do so many projects on automation fail? Why is it so complicated to design or maintain a large system? Why is the one app an instant success and why another is not? What is needed today to build the software of tomorrow? In the major Computer Science and Engineering you will learn the basic principles and methods to develop software systems and web services, and how to take the user perspective into account. This is much more than merely learning how to program. You will be able to reason about the correctness and efficiency of programs in a scientific way. The major provides a solid and future-proof basis for further specialization, through elective packages in the bachelor as well as through various master programs in the field of computer science.
