The GSEEM

GSEEM: Global Software EngineeringEuropean Master

Established in 2006 Double Degree Master programme in

Global Software Engineering Mix of technical, social-cultural, and

management competencies www.gseem.eu

GSEEM is for Computer Science students, specializing in

Global Software Engineering

An international double master program, ...1 year at one GSEEM site (60 ECTS credits), 1 year on another GSEEM site (60 ECTS credits),... and you get two Master degrees

Master thesis is done in the second year and the whole program is in English

Partner Universities

→UDA: University of L’Aquila, Italy

→MdH: Mälardalen University, Sweden

→VUA: VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands

What is Global Software Engineering about?

Software is now produced in a distributed way

People from different countries, with different cultural and social skills, with different technical knowledge, have to work together on the same project.

Thereofore, GSE it is not just a matter of technical skills, but is characterized by four aspects:technical, social and cultural, organisational, communication

How the GSEEM meets GSE expectations?

In line with our goals, the GSEEM program provides three module types

GSEEM uses interdisciplinary global environment- and specialized modules with the innovative concept of “shared modules”

GSEEM offers three profiles: Web Systems and Services Engineering, Real-time Embedded Systems, Model-driven Analysis and Design

GSEEM program structure

GSEEM program provides three module types : Foundation modules; Specialized modules; Global environment modules.

GSEEM Profiles

GSEEM will offer three different GSE profiles fulfilled by the Specialized modules: Model-Driven Analysis and Design of Complex Software

Systems; Real-Time Embedded Systems; Web Systems and Services Engineering.

GSEEM Objectives in a Tweet

The objectives of the GSEEM are to provide students with an excellence in Global Software Engineering

based on sound theoretical foundations and practical experience, to let students experience the

technical socio-cultural organizational communication challenges of global development.

This is achieved by a tight integration of world-class research, education and collaboration with industry

with a global distributed approach.

The VU consists of 19.000 students, 2.000 academics and 2.000 employees.

They are part of the 12 faculties, 6 interfaculty institutes.

VU provides 149 Bachelor & Master degrees.

A clear organization with short lines of communication.

Challenges

(Organizational) Challenges

• Differences in application and enrolment schedules

• Align local regulations (e.g. master thesis)

• Differences in tuition fees (EU/EER students and not)

Best practices• Strong link between education & research

• Personalized yet standard student study plan• GSEEM students choose flexibly the year of mobility for each visited

university, but …• Fixed mobility seems a more effective idea

• Create strong industrial ties• students step in the profession and gain understanding of their future

career• companies train talented future employees

• Uniform interface (application, rules)

• Strive for quality

• Use fellowship programs to attract excellence

• Build strong student community (if student come, their friends follow), use social media, invest in them (they are our best ambassadors)

GSEEM ambassadors 2011/2012

“The best about being abroad is that you meet so many new people and their perspectives on life and Software Engineering.”

If you want to know more on daily life in Sweden, mail or skype me!

Anne Jon Schoonoven, University of Mälardalen, Sweden, 2011-2012


"What I like most of being abroad is that you get a fresh look on things. This allows you to think outside the box more while at the same time being challenged by the difference in culture."

Jos Hoebe, University of L’Aquila, Italy, 2011-2012

“What I'd like best about studying abroad: meeting amazing people from all over the world and getting different perspectives on my studies.”
