The selection is typically done immediately when the studies begin, and it is confirmed with a personal study plan. It is also possible to begin to study both orientations at the same time and make the final decision during the first semester.\r\n\r\nThe Software Engineering orientation applies a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approach to software development in order to obtain reliable and efficient, economically viable software that works as stand-alone application or part of larger information system in an organisation or in an embedded system. The viewpoint of producer and developer of information technology is emphasised in the orientation.\r\n\r\nThe Information Systems orientation studies the utility and usage of information technology in organisations and various everday usage situations as well as work practices and effects on human acticities. The viewpoint of the exploiter of information technolgy is amphasised in the orientation.\r\n\r\nThe Master's degree provides readiness to act in independent expert tasks and manage information systems and software projects. Typical positions of Information Processing Science graduates are, for example, Project Manager, Team Leader, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information Officer, Software Developer, User Experience Designer, Lead Developer, Full-Stack Developer, Product Owner, Product Manager, Data Scientist and Research Coordinator.","valueFi":"Specialisation\r\nThe study of Information Processing Science is divided into to two orientations in the Master's phase: Software Engineering and Information Systems.
