Thanks to this Internship program, you will handle the most advanced modeling techniques to represent the structure and behavior of systems”

Advanced Software Engineering is a fundamental pillar for success in the technology industry. In an environment characterized by the complexity of systems, companies are looking for robust solutions. In this sense, advanced techniques in this field enable organizations to develop applications that not only meet high quality standards, but also adapt to a constantly evolving technological environment. In this scenario, computer scientists need to have a solid understanding of the latest advances in Advanced Software Engineering. For this reason, TECH has created this university program, where students will join a well-versed team in this field to get up to date with the latest trends in this area.

A recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that companies that implement Advanced Software Engineering practices can improve their productivity by up to 30%. This underlines the importance of this discipline for technological innovation and business efficiency. Given this situation, it is essential that IT professionals incorporate into their daily practice the most cutting-edge techniques and methodologies to develop more efficient software systems.

In this context, TECH launches a revolutionary Internship program in Advanced Software Engineering, which consists of a 120-hour on-site stay. Throughout 3 weeks, the graduates will be integrated into a work team made up of leading specialists in this field. Together with these professionals, the students will work actively on subjects such as data modeling, component design or system architecture, among others. In this way, the computer scientists will gain new skills to propel their professional careers to the top.

In addition, during their practical stay, students will have the support of an assistant tutor who will be in charge of guiding them and solving any doubts they may have. Thanks to this, graduates will enjoy a successful apprenticeship that will serve to expand their professional prospects. In this way, they will be highly prepared to make the leap to the most prestigious technological institutions and provide creative solutions.

Through this pathway, IT professionals will have a thorough knowledge of advanced software development methodologies and techniques. In this sense, graduates will be able to use state-of-the-art tools and frameworks for the development, testing and maintenance of applications. In addition, students will implement both security controls and privacy policies in order to ensure data integrity.
