That is your challenge
In the program with an in-depth practical focus, you’ll perfectly combine theory and practice. You’ll apply the knowledge gained during your university studies to real-world projects during your practical training phases at the company. This way, you’ll learn not only why something works, but also how it works and how it’s done. During the 1.5 years of your master’s program, you’ll complete your practical training phases at XITASO during the breaks between semesters.You can also write your master’s thesis in cooperation with XITASO; we always have exciting topics in the research area or from the project business. During your time at XITASO, you’ll work in an agile environment with a broad technology stack in interdisciplinary teams. This allows you to further deepen the practical knowledge you gained during your bachelor’s program while also being optimally prepared for the transition into professional life or a subsequent doctoral program.
