Master of Science [M.S] [Computing Science] From Utrecht University

Within the?Master?s programme ?offered by?, you can select one of?four tracks:

• Programming Technology

• Algorithm Design and Analysis

• Advanced Planning and Decision Making

• Algorithmic Data Analysis

The?programme?is research oriented. You will explore theories and techniques?in computing science and software design as well as participate in the research done to advance the field.

To successfully design software, you?first need to describe and analyse the relevant domain and its properties using language, modeling, or data. You?then?need to develop suitable software technologies and algorithms to derive the outcomes you?want to achieve. Finally, you?need an easy and efficient way to implement these components and turn them into an actual application.

You will learn to analyse and develop the concepts, design methods, and techniques underlying all of these steps.?

Careers

The combination of excellent knowledge of the concepts and methods as well as analytical and presentational skills put you in an excellent position for jobs in the IT domain, such as software system designer, IT specialist, project leader, or consultant.

If?you are interested in becoming a researcher, you will be well-equipped to pursue a PhD position in computer science or one of its application domains or for jobs in research institutes and industrial laboratories.
