Program Overview

Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science and Engineering

The MSc Eng programme in Computer Science and Engineering focuses on the design and use of computing componentsboth software and hardwareto solve technical problems efficiently and competitively.

Study Programme

Modern society infrastructure is based on information technology. IT plays an essential role in our daily lives, and businesses are dependent on computers and communications equipment.

DTU has a strong and growing IT environment with competencies in areas such as safe and secure systems, system integration, distributed and embedded systems, networks, software engineering, algorithms and logic, system-on-chip, and digital systems. As a student on the programme, you will form part of this exciting environment.

The Computer Science and Engineering programme is concentrated on the design and use of computing componentsboth software and hardwareto ensure our students become capable of solving technical problems efficiently and competitively.

Focus is on understanding and using the right abstractions for advanced IT solutions which typically include both existing and future components. Computer Science and Engineering thus covers a wide range of courses in software development, safe and secure IT systems, algorithms and logic, and knowledge-based systems, and distributed and embedded systems.

You will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both Danish and international companies - either as part of the courses, as an individual project or while writing your thesis.

The MSc Eng is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Specializations

The MSc Eng in Computer Science and Engineering offers a high degree of flexibility in the students' individual study plan.

Alternatively, you can choose to specialize in one of the following specializations:

• Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms
• Computer Security
• Cybersecurity
• Digital Systems
• Embedded and Distributed Systems
