Self-driving cars, real-time navigation on your mobile, personalized offers based on your browsing behaviour, and robots in healthcare. During the Computer Science and Engineering programme, you will learn how to develop software and process data for the intelligent systems of today and the future. Computer science can be found in many different fields of work, and you can take various directions with it.

Mathematical analysis and modelling, logical reasoning, programming algorithms and working with concepts of programming languages are all important here, and so is collaboration. This is why, at least once a year, you will work on a project with a group of fellow students, designing ‘things’ like an intelligent bot in a computer game.

Field of study

As a computer science engineer, you design and develop software to process large amounts of data efficiently and to enable users to utilise intelligent digital systems in an intuitive way. You develop software in such a way that it can be maintained and tested. Computer science engineers work on software for web applications, mobile apps, route planners, robots, healthcare systems, financial services and much more. However, computer science engineers are not only concerned with programming, they also need to ensure that code is efficient and secure, learn how users interact with a system and design software that can be deployed in a responsible manner.

What will I learn?

You will learn how computers, networks and embedded systems work. You will study algorithms, addressing questions as: what is arithmetic, what can computers do and what can they not do, and how can you represent software mathematically? Of course, you will also work with concepts of various programming languages, study data structures, learn about software quality, how to model complex systems and how users interact with such systems. You will try to solve problems in a logical way.
