In the industry, emphasis is placed on system-oriented programming in three different areas. The first area, covered by the System Programmer specialization, emphasizes the programming of basic layers of computer systems (middleware, operating system). In Reliable Systems, the focus is on developing systems with high reliability requirements, such as embedded systems and real-time systems. Specialization Powerful systems focus on software development techniques in modern high performance computing systems (highly parallel systems, distributed systems, clouds). In addition to programming tools and procedures, all specializations are given the necessary knowledge of the relevant system architecture.

The study branch Software Systems puts an emphasis on system-oriented programming in one of three focus domains. The System Programming domain focuses on coding the basic layers of a computer system (middleware, operating system). In the Dependable Systems domain, the curriculum deals with the systematic construction of systems with high reliability, such as embedded and real-time systems. The High Performance Computing branch introduces techniques for software development on high performance computing systems (highly parallel systems, distributed systems, clouds). All focus domains pay attention to both the programming tools and methods and the associated architectural knowledge.
