Computer Science And Engineering, Professional Focus In Management University of Liège

Overview

The Master in Computer Science And Engineering, Professional Focus In Management from University of Liège and the Master in Computer Science share a common curriculum combining a solid core in different aspects of computer science, specialized focuses (30 credits) in the key areas of computer systems security and intelligent systems, and a master's thesis, or even an internship, in contact with the professional world. All courses are taught in English.

The management degree opens the doors of both programs to a unique co-diploma program in Digital Business organized with the HEC School of Management of ULiège.

The specialization in management is part of the preparation for the master in digital business.

The program is perfectly symmetrical and offers two entry routes. Either the student registers first at HEC Liège in Management Engineering (Digital Business) to complete his or her course within the School of Engineering and Computer Science in the Computer Science program or in the Computer Science Engineering program; or conversely, he or she registers first in Computer Science (Management) at the School of Engineering and Computer Science to complete his or her course in the Management Engineering program at HEC Liège. For HEC Liège students who wish to join the program in order to also obtain the Master's degree in  Computer Science Engineering, three complementary courses can be taken as early as the Bachelor's degree (Mathematical Analysis, Rational Mechanics, Modeling and Systems Analysis). The concept of a transdisciplinary master's degree is to encourage new profiles bathed in a dual culture from the first part of the master's degree, rather than juxtaposing skills. The student is trained in cutting-edge subjects in a transversal manner, which allows him/her to apprehend problems from an innovative angle.

Career

The IT sector is and remains an important source of employment. Not only are IT companies (software development, sales of complete and customized IT systems, consulting...) in demand for qualified IT specialists, but companies active in other areas of the economy can increasingly do without IT experts.

There are also many job opportunities in the research, public administration and education sectors.

All jobs directly related to computer science are also accessible to graduates of both programs. However, engineers are generally favored in scientific functions or in projects that involve a fine interaction between software and hardware.
