Today there is an unsustainable gap between the potential that new arrivals to Sweden have to offer and how the Swedish job market succeed in managing it. At the same time, there is a big shortage of IT-developers in the Swedish IT-sector. The main point of the program is that the participants will go through a world-class education at KTH to learn a skill that is needed in the Swedish job-market and through the strong network of Novare get a big exposure to possible employers.

“The Software Development Academy is different from traditional undergraduate studies in Computer Science. For example, SDA includes a team project which is larger and more complex than projects that college or university students typically complete during their studies.

”Teacher: Philipp Haller, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at KTH

"Software Development Academy provided me a sound foundation in object oriented programming. I was taught how to develop using architectural and design patterns. Additionally, I was able to practice plenty of git and GitHub within a team, which was absolutely essential in my first developer job.
