Master of Science in Computer Science

The Master of Science in Computer Science Program is a two-year program (120 ECTS credits) designed to provide students with an advanced mastery of the core CS disciplines along with exposure to emerging areas (such as mobile and pervasive computing, multi-factor authentication, privacy and security, persistent data collection, “big data” analysis and data mining).

Students will receive the knowledge and experience that demonstrates domain expertise, and the ability to either continue their educational training at the doctoral level or immediately utilize their training in key economic sectors such as government, business, industry, health care, and education.

This program is distinguished by its progressive curriculum which includes more credits than in a typical program, with more courses, and a research thesis requirement. It offers physical resources for comprehensive learning (labs and equipment) and the diversity of the program faculty. 

The emphasis here lies in hands-on skills development, balancing between theory and entrepreneurial practice covering both traditional and emerging fields. The program runs exclusively in English.
