Computer Science - Master of Science Degree Programme
Adoption of Artificial intelligence, and continued digitalisation, in both industry and society at large, requires increasingly complex computer systems. With a master in Computer Science, you become the expert needed to architect, develop, and deploy such systems and ensure their security and performance.
Building on a bachelor in computer science, the master covers a broad range of more advanced topics, including network security and efficient data processing. You will learn to design and implement systems that utilize complex infrastructure, including the cloud, wireless networks and blockchain. Furthermore, you will also learn about the technology behind Artificial intelligence.
The programme places a strong emphasis on practical skills, offering hands-on experience. You apply and extend your knowledge in programming assignments and course projects.
You can write your master thesis in collaboration with industry, and participate in innovation and research.
