Christopher Willmore (USA) Class of 2010

I chose the Software Engineering Master’s Programme at Tartu because it provided the curriculum that fit my career goal of becoming a software architect. The programme has been both very challenging and rewarding. I have especially enjoyed the breadth of courses taught, ranging from software economics to video game design. The faculty is knowledgeable and passionate about their fields, and the students bring diverse experience. I’ve enjoyed Tartu so much that I plan to live here well after my studies.
