Full Stack Software Developer education is to respond to the growing challenges of software engineering. Gain understanding of modern software development tools and methods and become familiar with the most essential technologies and application frameworks, both for back-end and front-end.
Your personal learning plan dictates your knowledge profile. You gain an understanding of modern software development tools and methods and know the most important technologies and application frameworks. You can design and implement software solutions, both for the back-end and the front-end.
You will be able to engage in lifelong learning professionally, make decisions, and communicate effectively as part of a multinational student group. You know how to conduct research ethically.
The studies encompass all phases of the software development lifecycle, from requirements management and service design to continuous deployment and maintenance, utilizing agile methods and a modern tool chain. During the studies, we go through programming of (web-based) user interfaces, system integration, and back-end development.
If you have a previously completed Bachelor's or Master’s degree and are familiar with data analysis and programming, please apply. The extent of the education is 60 – 90 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) depending on the degree. For example, for someone with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (B.Eng.), it is 60 ECTS, and for someone with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (BBA), it is 90 ECTS.
As a part-time student, you can complete the programme in approximately two years. It is also possible to complete the programme in one year as full-time studies.
See courses and the programme structure.
The Full Stack Software Development programme covers the main aspects of modern software development. You gain an understanding of development tools and methods, become familiar with popular application frameworks, and learn to improve user experience. You need to have two years of working experience in the ICT field after your graduation, and motivation to graduate. You can complete the studies while working.
After completing the studies, you can work as a software developer designing and developing applications by utilising modern software methods and tools, both for front and back end.
The graduate may apply to continue on to postgraduate studies in science or arts at universities (Act 558/2009, Section 37) and in the school of professional teacher education. Studies can be continued by applying for corresponding post-degree education at universities abroad, for example. A university of applied sciences also provides opportunities for continuing education in the form of specialisation studies, open studies, an online study portal (CampusOnline) and working life based continuing education.
