Profile and Career
A degree in Computer Science opens the door to a tremendous range of career and employment possibilities. Whether you dream of a career as a programmer or software designer, you will work with many creative applications of IT. Or, perhaps your ambitions reside more within a research oriented career, within fields such as logistics, medical diagnostics, or robotics.
The part-time MSc programme in Computer Science offers a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical computer science, offering you the chance to explore the academic and commercial perspectives of the field at the very highest level.
The programme also provides access to an array of contemporary, advanced IT programmes and specialisations offered by other universities here in Denmark as well as institutions abroad.
Computer science is for those of you who are creative, can think logically, work in a structured manner and have a desire to immerse yourself in the theoretical or practical aspects of IT.
What Are the Features of the Part-Time MSc in Computer Science?
- The study programme is equivalent to that of the full-time MSc in Computer Science
