Digital Transformation and System Architectures

In today’s world, information systems (IS) are becoming increasingly important and complex. Effective application of research and engineering solutions allows one to develop a high quality and effective information system in due time and for a reasonable price. This study programme will provide you with a systematic model-based view at the development of IS, which is vital to any system developer; it will also teach you how to apply modern methods, tools, technologies, and standards relevant to this area.

* The title of the study programme has been changed from “Information Systems Engineering“ to “Digital Transformation and System Architectures“.

Values

Studies

From business models and user requirements to the high quality information system

In order to create a good information system, it is necessary to know how to analyse and understand the problem domain, also be able to identify and specify system requirements, design the system and then implement it accordingly. The modules of the study programme cover the entire life cycle of information systems development.

Skills

Good knowledge of methods, tools, and technologies

The modern development of information systems requires mastering and knowledge about relevant methods and means for the management of IT project, identification and analysis of needs, analysis and modelling of computerised business processes, specification of system requirements, system design, implementation of the designed system, and testing of the implementation. The students are familiarised with various IS development methods, tools, and technologies and taught about their proper selection and application.

Career

Wide selection of work areas

After the completion of studies, the graduates can work as business and system analysts, system designers, testers, quality engineers. Their career can advance to system architect, project manager, and manager of the unit or the entire IT business company.

MA+ competences

Master+ is a unique model within a chosen MSc programme

The Master+ model offers either to masterpiece in the chosen discipline by choosing the Field Expert track or to strengthen the interdisciplinary skills in addition to the main discipline by choosing the Interdisciplinary Expert track providing a choice of a different competence to compliment the chosen discipline and achieve a competitive advantage in one’s career.

Students of these study programmes can choose between the path of Field Expert and Interdisciplinary Expert. Selection is made in the academic information system. Each path (competence) consists of three subjects (18 credits) allocated as follows: 1 year 1 semester (autumn) – first subject (6 credits), 1 year 2 semester (spring) – second subject (6 credits), 2 year 3 semester – third subject (6 credits). A student, who chooses a path of the Field Expert, deepens knowledge and strengthens skills in the main field of studies. The one, who chooses a path of the Interdisciplinary Expert, acquires knowledge and skills in a different area or field of studies. Competence provides a choice of alternative additional subjects.

  • Field Expert (profound knowledge and skills in the area, required for solution of scientific research tasks);
  • Interdisciplinary Expert:
    (fields of different knowledge and skills are combined for solution of specific tasks);

Acquisition of the competence is certified by the issue of KTU certificate and entry in the appendix to the Master’s diploma. In addition, students can acquire an international certificate (details are provided next to each competence).

Competences are implemented by KTU lecturers – experts in their area – and high level business and public sector organizations; their employees deliver lectures, submit topics for the student’s theses, placement-oriented tasks for the projects, etc.
