In March 2006, European Software Institute (ESI) reviewed our curriculum. Their general conclusion is as follows:

"Overall, we think that the contents and distribution of the curriculum are reasonably well adapted to the current needs of European software industry." (page 21);

"The Joint MSc Curriculum in Software Engineering comprises an ambitious and determined effort. We foresee that its implementation will allow many students to learn about current software engineering theory and practice and become competent members of the profession." (page 27);

Based on their review a second release of the curriculum was made.
