"My main reason for undertaking the program was to prepare myself for the future. On the one hand, by obtaining a Master‘s degree. On the other hand, the content matched my interests perfectly. Furthermore, the distance aspect prevented me from neglecting my current career. Ultimately, I can say that the knowledge imparted, but also the challenge itself, boosted my confidence to remain successful."
Maik Pfirrmann, M.Eng.
Embedded Software Developer
"The master’s degree in Software Engineering for Embedded Systems has given me a state-of-the-art preparation in the field to face the daily problems in the design and the development of embedded components in industry. The nature of distance learning makes it possible to parallelly work and study. Definitely! it has given me a push in the technical part of my career, and I do not regret any minute that I have worked on it."
María Lourdes Llorente Holgado, M.Eng.
