Master of Science in Computer Science (Thesis-Based)

We offer a thesis-based as well as a course-based Master of Science (MSc). The course-based Master’s offers a solid background for students aiming at a professional career. The academic focus of the thesis-based Master’s is excellence in research and it aims to provide a starting point to students oriented toward PhD studies but also to professionally inclined candidates. Many of our thesis-based graduates have pursued PhD studies, but several have gone into successful professional careers right after completing their degree.

Besides (and in addition to) the academic atmosphere, the department at large (both faculty and students) also supports the pursuit of knowledge by offering a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The minimum requirements for admittance to the Master’s program are an undergraduate degree with a major in Computing Science or equivalent, and a high upper-second class standing.

Candidates with high academic standing in an undergraduate degree other than computer science, who have some computer science background either academic or professional, may be admitted as graduate preparatory students. Preparatory students will be asked to complete up to one year of undergraduate courses to enhance their background.
