About

During your study at the Computer Science: Computer Networks and Distributed Systems program offered by University of Antwerp, you can live through a wide variety of applications of computer science. You will get first hand experience in a challenging, creative, dynamic and multi-disciplinary environment where you can contribute to the realisation of international projects.

Overview

A degree in Computer Science: Computer Networks and Distributed Systems at the University of Antwerp corresponds with a competent professional with a scientific background. After obtaining the degree you will be able to:

  • adopt new technological developments in the respective disciplines within computer science
  • exploit these developments where applicable in their professional context
  • when required, make original contributions to the further development of the discipline

It is our ambition to offer a unique programme, which is based on recommendations from renowned scientific organisations such as the ACM, IEEE and SIAM. Our programme emphasises deep knowledge and sufficient flexibility and as such our graduates are highly demanded in both industrial as well as academic positions.

Your future

  • In a corporate organisation you can work as a technology consultant, software designer, system developer, software architect, software analyst, web designer and developer, project leader, industrial researcher…
  • Many computer scientists end up in the Research and Development departments of industrial organisations (both large and small) to address technological challenges of all kinds.
  • Your background allows you to deal with fast changing environments; which is a necessary prerequisite for project management positions.
  • A scientific career in academia, where you think about in depth problems of computer science. Together with other scientists and companies you work inside European or international projects on a variety of disciplines.
You can choose between three majors:
  • Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
  • Data Science
  • Software Engineering

The programme focuses on Research and Development. In contrast to the Dutch programme equivalent, there are no majors/minors such as Education or Management.

The two years are built out of 4 blocks:

  • Master thesis "30 credits" (compulsory)
  • Elective courses "30 credits"
  • General competences "30 credits" (compulsory)
  • Two research internships "15 credits each" (compulsory)
