Become a computer scientist who can solve the biggest challenges of tomorrow’s digital society by designing and developing more secure, scalable, and efficient ICT systems.
Nowadays, we can work, learn, communicate, shop, and play at a click of a button because computer science has made it possible. There is a rising demand for computer science professionals who can tackle tomorrow's digital society challenges. Can you design an efficient countermeasure to protect web servers from security breaches and denial-of-service attacks? How can you develop a software tool to analyse which parts of a software system can be improved, so it is more stable, scalable, and maintainable? What about helping an athlete recover from an injury faster by using AI to analyse data from wearable sensors? Are you interested in investigating future challenges and coming up with relevant solutions in new fields of mobile and wireless networking, such as vehicular networking and Beyond 5G connections? If you want to work on real-life cases and learn from world-leading experts how to design, develop, maintain, and improve ICT systems, the Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Twente is right for you!
Specialisations
In this two-year, English-taught Master’s, you will learn the scientific methods and acquire the technical skills to design, analyse, validate, secure, develop, and maintain ICT systems for various domains, such as healthcare, finance, education, telecommunications, commerce, transport, manufacturing, and construction, to name but a few. You will develop expertise on computer networks and security, system reliability, wireless and sensor systems, software engineering, machine learning, and data science. Nowadays, it is virtually impossible to imagine a society without computer-driven technologies and devices. This is why, with your knowledge and skills in developing and improving technology systems that power everyday life, you will play a crucial role in any public or private organisation.
