Program and structure
The Master’s degree in Computer Science (Research Focus) consists of a combination of courses in advanced computer science and introductory research disciplines. It prepares the student for research activities in an academic institution or an academic or industrial research centre. This is also an ideal course to prepare students for more traditional IT jobs.
The 1st 60-credit block of the Master’s degree (Research) is identical to that of the specialist focus. It includes several advanced courses covering key topics in computer science. It also includes an introductory research project, an important assignment in preparation for the Master’s dissertation.
The 2nd block includes a scientific mission in a research centre, elective courses and a final dissertation to be presented and defended before a board of examiners.
