Sino Swedish Master Programme in Computer Science and Software Engineering

The Sino-Swedish master programme in computer science and software engineering programme is offered jointly by world class universities Uppsala University and the School of Software Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. You will study one year at each of the universities and will get a master degree from both universities. Both universities teach in English

You will meet the research fronts of both these universities, and will thus get a unique profile on your education. Uppsala University is more focused on the theoretical aspects of computer science, while Tongji University has its strenght in apllications and software engineering. You can also take courses on cultural aspects, such as language (particularly Chinese) or intercultural relationships. You can create your own specialization by combining courses individually.

Moreover, you will study in two cultures, and will thus learn to understand different ways of thinking.
