Master Computer Science at the University of Antwerp

During your study in our research-intensive programme, you will get first-hand research and development experience in a challenging, creative, dynamic and multi-disciplinary environment. During research projects and your thesis, you can actively contribute to research.
This prepares you equally well for a career in academia (through a subsequent PhD) as for one in industry, in Belgium or anywhere in the world.

Our programme is built on recommendations from professional societies such as the ACM, IEEE and SIAM. It adds a unique twist thanks to the expertise of our professors, who are world leaders in their research fields.

Master Computer Science: Study Content

This 120 ECTS credits programme has three majors: Computer Networks, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and Software Engineering. You choose your major when applying for admission to the programme.

The programme focuses on research and development.

The two years are made up of four blocks:

1. Compulsory core courses
2. Elective courses (can be outside your major)
3. Two compulsory research projects
4. Compulsory Master’s thesis

The Master’s programme culminates in the Master’s thesis. The aim of this thesis is for you to show that you are able to independently explore (under supervision of a promoter) a complex subject in a scientific manner and write down the acquired insights in a coherent scientific text.

Master Computer Science: Career

The choice is yours ...
With a degree in Computer Science a multitude of job opportunities and interesting career perspectives await you. It will be much less a matter whether you will find a job, but more which job you will choose that most closely matches your interests.

All major challenges in science and technology in the current century are multidisciplinary in nature: i.e. several disciplines must come together to create a context for radically new solutions. Computer scientists play a pivotal role: they collect and organise information (data and models) to ensure that the numerous software systems, networks, algorithms can inter-operate seamlessly. For instance at the CERN lab, computer scientists mediate between physicists and engineers. Similarly, in the human genome project, computer scientists ensure that doctors and biochemists can exchange the complex information encoded in DNA. The modern economy with its emphasis on global competition and sustainable development poses interesting challenges for computer scientists. New industrial systems, implementation and optimisation of specialised software and systems, networks with higher performance and security, faster computation: these all present exciting opportunities for graduates.
