The objective of the master program is to provide an advanced training and prepare students for a future career in the very broad and rapidly developing field of distributed systems and their applications. This field is characterized by continuously emerging technological advancements and a highly active research community. Students need to be aware of both the fundamentals of distributed systems and their practical application in realistic scenarios. Therefore, the programs structure ensures that students first acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge and expertise before they will get the opportunity to apply their skills in practice in the context of an internship, various practical courses and, if desired, even in their Master's thesis. Graduates will acquire advanced knowledge in the design of large software systems, distributed systems and middleware technology.
