We live in an era of constant technological evolution, and the demand for qualified professionals in the field of software development has been growing. The Degree in Software Development and Applications is a response to this need and was designed based on the recommendations of the main international associations in the sector (ACM and IEEE), Iscte's experience and consultations with more than 30 national and international companies.

In this degree, students learn about the latest computing and technological platforms, the fundamentals and practice of user-centred design and software development in multiple application areas, applied artificial intelligence, as well as computer architectures and networks and the fundamental principles of cybersecurity. The course also covers user experience design, agile software product development management, database and information management (including big data), analytical information systems, integrated and distributed systems technologies and mobile and web applications.

In addition, the course's multidisciplinary approach promotes essential skills, such as verbal and written communication, innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship, which are fundamental for acting responsibly and effectively in the labour market.

In the 3rd year of the degree, students have the opportunity to choose optional subjects and carry out an applied software project in a business or institutional context, allowing them to delve into specific areas of interest aligned with their career goals.

We look forward to seeing you at Iscte-Sintra.
