Overview
Here are ten reasons for choosing the Master in Information and Computer Sciences programme at University of Luxembourg:
- Flexible specialisation options: profiles are a unique feature of our programme that empowers students by allowing them to choose multiple specialisations and to perform interdisciplinary studies.
- Individual supervision and small class sizes: we limit the student intake in order to provide an optimal learning environment; active participation of students during lectures is encouraged.
- Early involvement in research projects: students have the possibility, via student job positions, to participate early on in scientific research projects thus giving them a better idea what research is all about.
- Ties to industry: the master thesis can be done for a company; this option is especially interesting for students who do not plan to do a PhD.

In the last few years the DCS has pursued a strategy of hiring top professors from around the world.
