As a back-end developer, you will be the brains behind digital solutions, working with a wide range of technologies and having the opportunity to develop your skills in a constantly evolving field.
During the programme, you will learn to design and implement server-based solutions, manage databases and ensure optimal performance. You will also gain the necessary skills in current front-end technologies, enabling you to work as a full-stack developer.
The programme aims to provide you with practical skills and applicable solutions in back-end and full-stack development. All aspects of web development are thoroughly covered, introducing you to the latest technology used in the industry.
The first year of this two-year programme is the same as the one-year programme in Back-end Development. However, you can apply directly to this two-year programme and secure your place for two years.
After completing the Back-end Development program, you can pursue jobs such as:
The first year starts by building a solid foundation where fundamental programming concepts are explained. This is further strengthened through object-oriented programming to develop structured and reusable solutions. To ensure a holistic approach to the development process, methodologies for project planning and management are introduced. Through in-depth learning of JavaScript on the server side, database administration, and the design of RESTful APIs, you acquire essential skills.
The second year covers the development of both server-side and client-side applications, providing a comprehensive approach to web development. You will delve into complex topics, such as advanced features in JavaScript, databases, cloud-based services, and .NET. The exam project gives students the opportunity to apply their skills in a practical setting and demonstrate a holistic understanding of software development and information technology.
Throughout the program, you will receive practical assignments to ensure your ability to perform development in practice with the help of relevant theory. Students will develop their expertise through professional work and software methodologies commonly used by professional backend developers.
