Master Programmes

The aim of the Master Programme in Computer Science is to provide a broad education, emphasising knowledge and analytical skills that have a long lasting value. The curriculum focuses on problem solving and general principles, rather than on particular programming languages or hardware platforms. The programme prepares you for an internationalised, highly qualified labour market in industry or research.

The programme offers a broad selection of courses in computer science. You can create your own specialization by combining courses individually. Most of the courses combine theory with practical exercises of implementation and verification. Course selection depends on your background know­ledge and your personal interests. By selecting the appropriate courses you can specialize in several different areas of computer science. You select your courses in dialogue with the academic staff and you can always ask questions or discuss with your teachers.

Your Future

The demand for skills in the computer science field is high and will grow, as a result of the computerization of society. Most of our students are working in thecommercial IT sector as project managers or consultants in advanced product development or applied research, participating in the development of future products.

Some students start their own businesses to develop ideas they had during training. The programme is also a good preparation for doctoral studies. The labour market is highly qualified and international.
