Overview
The programme starts in the autumn every year. The first semester provides both a solid foundation in advanced computer networking and cyber security, as well as fundamental courses in advanced computer science. The second semester reinforces the focus on networked systems and cyber security, with advanced courses on, e.g., wireless systems and ethical hacking.
During the third semester the student may choose which elective path to follow. The student may choose between options such as research or industry oriented electives, study abroad or a broader approach involving another subject area. The last semester is devoted to thesis work. The thesis may be done within one of the department's research projects or at a company.
Career
The Computer Science programme from University of Karlstad offers a wide range of possibilities, from a research track for students wishing to continue with PhD studies to more practical applications, both of which may include an international aspect.
