Computer science and technology play a key role in every part of the modern world. The master's programme in Computer Science is based on the need for computer scientists to master the theoretical foundations of the field and to be able to apply and integrate them with other technologies.

The first semester of the programme comprises mandatory core courses in theoretical computer science and programming such as Theory of Computing and Database Technology.

The second and third semesters include elective courses based on students’ areas of specialisation such as: artificial intelligence, databases and data mining, internet computing, the design and programming of computer games, information security, language technology, human-computer interaction and theoretical computer science or the design and implementation of computer languages.

As the courses given during the programme address both theoretical and practical issues, applicants are expected to have an adequate background in computer science and good programming skills.

The programme is taught at Linköping University, home to one of the largest centres of computer science and engineering in Northern Europe. The centre has 175 employees, including 20 full professors, and is internationally renowned for the high quality of its research and education. The research at the Department of Computer Science covers a broad spectrum of topics such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, security, databases, distributed systems, embedded and real-time systems, human-computer interaction, software engineering.
