Applied Computer Science

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

A new class of IT applications emerged gaining immense attention and substantially changed the social perception of Computer Science significantly. The program focuses on smart systems with main characteristics: Mobility (mobile systems providing or consuming services while moving), Distribution (highly distributed modern IT systems), and Contextual dependence (applications adapting to situational changes). The program covers Distributed and Mobile Systems, Knowledge Engineering and Data Science, Software Engineering, and Communication Technologies and Security. The curriculum is divided into compulsory modules that strengthen knowledge in Computer Science and electives in two areas: Programming and Advanced Software Engineering, and Media Technologies and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Students can specialize in IT-Security, Computer Graphics, Web Applications, and Computational Intelligence.
