Why you should choose this field?

A four-semester master's degree program in computer science is an ideal option for those who do not have an engineering degree, but wish to obtain the necessary education and practical skills in a quick way. This is an excellent option for those who want to earn a master's degree in engineering, which opens up many new career prospects in the world of IT. As part of our degree program, students have a real say in exactly what they want to study by being able to choose the courses they want to attend.

Thanks to this program, you will gain professional skills in areas such as IT system design, cyber security, digital signal processing and software quality management. With a complementary module of the so-called engineering courses, you will also gain a full engineering qualification.

Computer science - What possibilities does this program open?

Being a graduate in computer science, your choice of profession will be limited only by your own imagination. You will be capable of working as a technical IT project manager, IT team manager, analyst, designer, programmer; designer, programmer and implementation specialist of software and complex information systems or computer networks; administrator of information systems (databases, operating systems, computer networks or application software); manager of software development teams; as well as consultant in the field of IT and cyber security.

This programme
is for you if:

You have a bachelor's degree, but would like to get an engineering master's degree in computer science
Want to supplement your education with an additional master’s degree in computer science.
You already have IT knowledge advanced enough to begin your education with graduate degree program
