Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The part-time Master's program in Computer Science allows students to adapt their studies to their life circumstances. It offers the same qualification level as the full-time program but distributes the coursework over a longer period (5 semesters instead of 3), reducing the weekly workload to approximately half that of full-time study. This format is suitable for those who need flexibility due to childcare, caring for relatives, or working while studying. The program has the same structure and content as the full-time version, with students having access to the same specialization tracks. The main difference is that the courses from the first two semesters of the full-time program are spread across four semesters in the part-time version, with a workload of 12-21 ECTS per semester instead of 30 ECTS.
