General Information

Today, software systems constitute a very important and critical part of computer systems used in almost all fields such as banks, insurance institutions, health sector, company management, telecommunication systems, automotive industry, land/air/sea transportation.

Software Engineering is a new branch of engineering that has existed since 1968 and aims to design, manufacture and operate software systems within the framework of engineering principles. Since computers and software systems are now used intensively and effectively in all areas of daily life, Software Engineering is an engineering field that has interdisciplinary applications and plays a role in all disciplines.

The main purpose of the Software Engineering Master's Program, which started education at Boğaziçi University, Computer Engineering Department in order to contribute to closing the manpower gap in this field in Turkey, is to provide specialist training in software engineering at the graduate level to those who have completed one of the 4-year university/high school undergraduate programs. It is aimed that students specialize in software project management and software development. Those who successfully complete the program are awarded a "Software Engineering Graduate Diploma".

Within the scope of the program, thesis and non-thesis graduate alternatives are offered to the students. If the necessary conditions are met, it is possible to switch between thesis and non-thesis programs.
