Computer Science

On the master programme, you will develop your skills in theoretical and practical computer science. You continue to work with programming, software architecture, databases and system development.

The programme contains a number of obligatory courses, but you will also be able to choose courses relating to your special interests. In this way, you can specialise and sharpen your skills in one or more areas. These could be logic and mathematics or encrypting and computer graphics.

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
