Master's Programme in Computer Science

Education facts

Code: TDV2M

There is a great need for experts in computing with more than just basic training. The Master's Programme in Computer Science offers a broad education based on current research taught by internationally active researchers. You get to choose courses in, for example, theoretical computer science, programming languages, software engineering, parallel programming, data communication, real-time systems, data bases/data science, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction. In the second year you can choose to take a larger project course. The programme is concluded with a Master's thesis project carried out in industry or at a university, possibly outside Sweden. Through an individual study plan, you will get the opportunity to create your own specialisation. Many students find work in the commercial IT sector as project managers or consultants in advanced product development or applied research. The programme is also excellent preparation for PhD studies. The language of instruction is English.

Entry requirements

*Academic requirements* A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: - 90 credits in computer science, including programming, algorithms, data structures, computer architecture and operating systems; and - 30 credits in mathematics. *Language requirements* Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
