Today Computing Science is a huge field including topics such as programming languages, algorithms and complexity, data structures, intelligent systems, distributed systems and net-work technology. Over the fifty years that computer science has existed, it has come too defined as the technology of our time. Computers are integrated in many parts of our society and scientific field continues to develop at an astonishing pace. New technologies are constantly is constantly being introduced and the existing ones become obsolete.
Our Master in Computer Science offers is a number of elective courses with an emphasis on information security, information systems and intelligent systems. Courses focus on issues closely related to research frontier in Computing Science. It is included in the master's program to write the master's thesis, which must be based on current research and scientific articles. After the student has obtained master's degree the student is then well prepared for work in industry as well as to make scientific careers at university.
Teaching is conducted through lectures, seminars and laboratory assignments. Depending on the nature of the laboratory assignments they are carried out either individually and in groups.
A credit point is equivalent to a point in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Learning outcomes
In addition the nationally regulated goals, which can be found in paragraph 8, the following goals apply for the education.
After completion of the programme the student will:
* be able to understand advanced software systems
* master advanced technologies in the Computer Science field.
* be able to identify current practice in research in Computing Science.
* carry out an independent research-related project.
* carry out research in the Computer Science field.
* be able to lead the computer science work in a medium or large business.
Job Profiles
After graduation, students should be able to perform work in all parts of computer science field, when connected to software and systems development in a general to specialist level. Roles may be a specialist in techniques or domain to various management posts such as technical manager or project manager. In the education programme is offered opportunities to study abroad for up to one semester entirely within the block of elective courses. BTH has several contacts and possible cooperation partners for student exchange.
The students are expected to study full time during two academic years. The courses are on campus and in English.
Of the 120 credits required for the degree, no more than 30 credits are allowed to come from basic level.
The objectives of the program are achieved through the courses included in the exam. Assessment and grading is done at module level and details concerning assessment and grading is available in each course syllabus.
During the education each course is evaluated, and the course evaluations are the foundation for continued development.
Written Work
The programme concludes with a written degree project equivalent to 30 credit points.
International element
Programme provides opportunities / mandatory study abroad and special arrangements for this, for example with foreign partner universities. Students have the opportunity to study a semester abroad at any of BTH partner universities. This is facilitated by the existence of a semester with fully elective courses opening for the stay abroad. There is a opportunity to study several semesters abroad as well, but this requires more preparation and a more controlled choices of courses in the foreign university.
