The student can:
•Apply techniques for dividing a system into subsystems
•Design and specify requirements for subsystems
•Use version control systems dedicated to the development of large distributed systems in a distributed development team
•Use a system for continuous integration and delivery
•Use architecture patterns dedicated to the development of large distributed systems.
Competences
The student can:
•Cooperate in large systems development organizations
•Participate in globally distributed development
•Adapt development methods and processes to the development of large distributed systems
Type of instruction
Teaching in Software development is a dynamic, interactive process that focuses on active student participation. Teaching is based on relevant business practices and relates practice to theory. Issues from various types of business in the IT industry will be drawn upon. Students take responsibility for their own learning, and together with the teachers, they contribute constructively to the learning process.

Various teaching methods are employed to ensure optimum professional learning and personal development. The emphasis is on dialogues, discussions and project work.

The teaching is organised as a variation between class teaching, guest lecturing, company visits, group project work and individual work. The learning is most often problem-based and cross-disciplinary and always practise-oriented. In addition to learning the subject, the student will gain the competences to work individually and in collaboration with others.

The common aim of the activities is always to set clear intended learning objectives.
