The master's programme will provide deeper insight into how computers work and how they can be used to solve problems. Information technology is an aid in many fields such as medicine, biotechnology, law, culture and learning. Your master's will focuse on one of these fields.

The programme covers the core of computer science: how do you create efficient and correct computer programs for difficult problems?

The programme offers specialisations for you to choose:

Software deals with all aspects of programming in theory and practice, from system modeling and formal specifications to actual implementation using various programming languages.
Distributed systems focuses on utilizing networks, from concurrent processes inside a computer to world-wide cooperating systems using the Internet.
Logic uses computers to solve difficult problems such as automatic reasoning about languages or very large amounts of data.
Information security deals with how information systems can withstand - and deal with both accidental mishaps and intentional attacks.
The master's programme consists of course work and thesis. The courses are selected in consultation with your supervisor. The thesis is normally performed at the Department of Informatics, but you also have the opportunity to perform it somewhere else, eg. at a research institution or in a business.

Course programme

Programme structure

The master programme is a two year programme, consisting of a thesis and theoretical course work. The thesis is an independent scientific work, carried out under supervision.

You can choose between a long thesis (60 credits thesis, 60 credits course work) a short thesis (30 credits thesis, 90 credits course work).

All 4000- and 5000-courses are considered master level courses. Choice of thesis and curriculum is made in accordance to the programme option of your choice and together with your supervisor. At least 30 credits must be from the program structure.

The programme is connected to several research groups. Note that the different research groups may have requirements to what courses you must have in your bachelor degree in order to write a thesis within their group.

  • Distributed multimedia systems (DMMS)
  • Networks and distributed systems (ND)
  • Programmering og Software Enginering (PSE)
  • Precise modeling and analysis (PMA)
  • Logic and Intelligent Data (LogID)
  • Wireless Networks and Security (WNaS)

Specializations:

Based on your background, you can choose between one or more of the following specializations:

  • Distributed systems and networks focuses on utilizing networks, from concurrent processes inside acomputer to world-wide cooperating systems using the Internet
  • Software deals with all aspects of programming in theory and practice, from system modeling and formal specifications to actual implementation using various
    programming languages.
  • Logic uses computers to solve difficult problems such as automatic reasoning about languages or very large amounts of data.
  • Information security deals with how information systems can withstand - and deal with both accidental mishaps and intentional attacks.
