Computer Science (Master)

The master’s programme in Computer Science provides students with an academic education, encompassing theory, specialised knowledge and practical knowledge in the area of computer science. Students specialise in several of the following eight subject areas: algorithms, data analysis, computer graphics, information management and systems, internet computing and software technology, multimedia, networks as well as parallel computing. By selecting a broad choice from these subject areas, graduates are highly flexible and prepared for future employment in a wide range of occupational fields, with the objective of working in leading positions. Students have the opportunity to focus on three or four subject areas, enabling them to graduate in one of the specialisation subjects Computer Science, Data Science or Scientific Computing. The language of instruction of the master's programme in Computer Science is English only. Students must have English language skills corresponding to level B2 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
