In the Master in DevOps and Cloud Computing, we consolidate IT expertise into one comprehensive degree program. Divided into two main sections, you'll delve into DevOps, which integrates software development and IT operations, along with cloud computing. Additionally, you'll gain insights into product development, agile software methodologies, and cyber security.
Moreover, depending on your chosen study model, you can opt for one or two elective modules, such as IT security laws, container orchestration, continuous security, IT service management, architecture, and product development with design thinking.
These foundational IT competencies empower students to implement and oversee DevOps culture within diverse organizations.
