Utrecht University Multiple locations Overview
Information-driven In A Diverse Society
Within the Master’s programme Computing Science offered by Utrecht University , you can select one of four tracks:
- Programming Technology
- Algorithm Design and Analysis
- Advanced Planning and Decision Making
- Algorithmic Data Analysis
The programme is research oriented. You will explore theories and techniques in computing science and software design as well as participate in the research done to advance the field.
Programme Objective
To successfully design software, you first need to describe and analyse the relevant domain and its properties using language, modeling, or data. You then need to develop suitable software technologies and algorithms to derive the outcomes you want to achieve. Finally, you need an easy and efficient way to implement these components and turn them into an actual application.
You will learn to analyse and develop the concepts, design methods, and techniques underlying all of these steps.
Career Prospects
The combination of excellent knowledge of the concepts and methods as well as analytical and presentational skills put you in an excellent position for jobs in the IT domain, such as software system designer, IT specialist, project leader, or consultant.
If you are interested in becoming a researcher, you will be well-equipped to pursue a PhD position in computer science or one of its application domains or for jobs in research institutes and industrial laboratories.
