​This fully accredited, online, post-graduate level, MSc study programme on Software Engineering for Internet, Mobile, and Cloud  Applications, is jointly organized by the Digital Systems Department (School of Technology) of the University of Thessaly and the School of Applied Sciences (STEM) of the Open University of Cyprus, leading to the award of a post-graduate MSc degree in “Software Engineering for Internet, Mobile and Cloud Applications”.

The course’s main field of study is Software Engineering, a branch of Computer Science and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that focuses on the construction (i.e., design, development, implementation, and testing) of software application systems. In particular, it delves into those areas of Software Engineering that specialize in developing state-of-the-art, large-scale, mobile web applications, cloud computing applications, and/or a combination of all three domains. Moreover, the MSc diploma course comprises a few modules in data analysis, machine learning, and data mining, technologies that already support next-generation applications.

The language of instruction is English, and all classes are conducted online. The University of Thessaly serves as the supervising institution, leveraging both institutions’ expertise in teaching and research. Additionally, it utilizes the Open University of Cyprus (OUC)’s experience in organizing, designing, and implementing distance learning courses and teaching methods.

Although the course is supported and taught mainly by the faculty members and teaching staff of the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Thessaly (UTH), some faculty members and teaching staff from The Open University of Cyprus (OUC) and the School of Informatics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) also contribute in the teaching of the course’s modules.

Successful completion of the MSc programme constitutes an important qualification for those seeking employment in the field of industry and technology, but also for promotion purposes in their current workplace. To this end, the MSc programme has been designed to create affiliations and establish cooperative endeavors both with the industry and technology sectors, as well as with the wider job market.
