(Germany) offer a two year (120 ECTS credits) Joint Masters Programme, named
European Master Course in Software Engineering (EMSE). EMSE aims at training
students in emerging research domains that shape the future of Software
Engineering. It prepares students for industry and research carriers as PhD
programmes. After completing the EMSE studies the student will have gained
expertise, competence, and practical skills on software management and quality,
innovation and creativity, software process and product standards, social and
economic market of IT, and teamwork. The international dimension of the Masters
Course guarantees that students familiarise with different educational methods
and a multicultures. Since 2006 EMSE has been funded by the Erasmus Mundus
Programme. However, as a result of the highly competitive nature of the
selection and the limited budget available, the course was not re-selected for
