Welcome to the RSE-Masters wiki!
In modern science, software-based research plays an increasingly central role. The professional development and competent use of software are essential for progress across nearly all scientific disciplines.
In response, the professional profile of the Research Software Engineer (RSE) has emerged—combining expertise in software development with a deep understanding of scientific research processes. As the importance of this role grows, particularly with the rise of RSE service centers at research institutions, so does the demand for dedicated Master's programs in RSE or the integration of RSE-focused tracks into existing graduate programs.
The German Computer Science Society, the deRSE-community and University of Potsdam are developing the RSE-Master reference curriculum. This is based on previous research on RSE competencies [@Goth2024RSE], mapping official bodies of knowledge [@cc2020] and adapting existing similar programs.
The Reference Curriculum follows some design ideas:
