The software industry is increasingly embracing cloud-native architectures and microservices, recognizing their ability to enhance scalability, flexibility, and deployment speed in application development. This Masters programme provides a comprehensive exploration of modern software design, with a strong focus on developing applications that are scalable, resilient, and easily manageable in cloud environments. You will learn to build and maintain systems that leverage the full potential of cloud computing, preparing you for a leading role in the industry’s shift towards cloud-native technologies. You will study in detail architectural styles that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which makes it easier to scale and accelerate development cycles. You wll gain expertise in designing, deploying and managing applications using platforms like Kubernetes, docker and cloud services like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.  Students will learn to integrate development and operations to streamline workflows, with a focus on automation, continuous integration (CI), and continuous deployment (CD).
