Regulations of Study and Examination

In the programme concept of the Department of Informatics the master programme Data & Web Engineering constitutes the logical continuation of the bachelor programmes Informatics as well as Applied Informatics or similar bachelor programmes. The master programme Data & Web Engineering is incorporated in the main research areas of the faculty.

Holder of a bachelor degree in the degree programmes Informatics, Applied Informatics and Information and Communication Technology are confronted with highly complex, data intensive and distributed systems in their occupation. The most prominent example of such a system is the World Wide Web. With its inconceivable data volumes and distributed applications it did not only change the industrial and economic sectors but has become an indispensible part of our modern knowledge-based society.

Designing and controlling such systems requires skills that go far beyond the education received in the course of the mentioned bachelor programmes. Accordingly, the innovative combination of databases and information systems, distributed systems and software engineering as well as internet and web technologies take centre stage in the studies for a master’s degree in Web & Data Engineering.

The basic concept emphasises application-oriented approaches in handling the challenges for data-intensive and web-based software solutions. Here, methodical skills in the fields development, management and evolution of such software solutions are taught. These are important qualification parameters for tasks in the information and communication technology sectors.

The master programme is research-oriented. Modern developments from the field of research are implemented in the curriculum, so that many research projects take place in the course of current scientific programmes that aim at the solution of challenging research problems. Degree holders of this programme can both be employed in various sectors of the industrial and economic practice as well as in the field of research. Beyond that, the degree programme follows international recommendations of the International Society for Web Engineering and is thus the first master programme of its kind in Europe.

Career Opportunities

The successful completion of this programme allows the smooth transition to doctoral programmes and the execution of challenging activities in information and communication technologies.

For example, the following fields of activity are prospective occupations:

  • Data engineering
  • Web engineering
  • Software engineering
  • Internet and information technologies
  • Web and media sectors

Struktura studia

During the master programme the contents of teaching from the degree programmes Informatics, Applied Informatics as well as Information and Communication Technologies are continued but with a significant focus on

  • Information and data processing,
  • Software engineering and
  • Distributed systems.

 

Various aspects of software design for data-intensive and web-based systems as well as their handling and evolution are taught. In the first three terms the central contents of the topics are taught in the course of lectures and tutorials.

In combination with these topics seminars and work placements concerning theoretical and practical intensification of current research challenges take place. Thus, the interplay of information and data processing, software engineering and distributed systems can be achieved.

 

The master programme is based on three branches of education:

  • Contents
  • Methods
  • Distribution

The education branch Contentssubstantiates skills from the area Information and Data Processing that go beyond the classical scope of basic principles of databases. Thus, advanced techniques of data and information storage in data base systems, which are applied in modern web applications, are taught.

The education branch Methods introduces advanced technologies of Software Engineering and Information Retrieval. Here, knowledge is taught in order to plan and implement web applications not only intuitively but systematically and methodologically.

The third education branch Distribution emphasises aspects of Telematics and Distributed Systems. Here knowledge about the internet and web technologies is intensified in theory and practice. Furthermore, web-based solutions take centre stage in this programme.

These three branches of education are simultaneously introduced in the first term and will be intensified over two terms.

 

Besides these three branches of education we offer two additional branches of education which will teach the future degree holders supplementary knowledge and practical handling skills concerning the subjects taught as well as complementary skills and social competencies such as the ability to communicate, to present and to research. Additionally, supplementary skills are developed. These consist of being able to realise and evaluate the economic as well as the legally relevant environment of the degree programme. Thus, from the thematic target of seminars and work placements results a smooth working towards the theme of the master’s thesis which will be written in the fourth term.
