Advanced Functional Programming

Education facts

Code: 1DL450

Advanced Functional Programming is a Master’s‑level course for students who want to deepen their understanding of functional programming across several languages. You will work with multiple modern functional programming languages – the exact selection may vary between course offerings – and explore core concepts such as lazy and parallel evaluation, macros, actors, continuations, monads, and different forms of polymorphism. Through lectures, labs, seminars, and programming assignments, you will gain hands‑on experience implementing programs in different functional paradigms and analysing how these languages compare. The course is designed for students with prior programming experience who want to expand both their theoretical foundations and their practical skills in functional programming.

Entry requirements
