About the department
The Department of Applied Software teaches students to design, build, and run software. Classes stay small, and most courses end with a working project instead of a written exam.
From the second year, student teams work on projects set by local companies and public offices. Faculty supervise each team, and the partner reviews the result at the end of the term.
