Master of Science [M.S] [Computer Science] From KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The aim of the Master?s programme in from the is to provide a broad education in computer science with the possibility to specialize within different subjects. You will learn the methods for construction of computer programmes, including theoretical foundations and the practical ability to develop products and systems. During the programme you will meet prominent guest lecturers from the industry and guest lectures from other universities.

The programme starts with compulsory courses in advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer security, internet protocol and research methodology to give you an insight in different areas of computer science. In the second term you choose one of the seven specializations to gain in-depth knowledge in a field in computer science. The specializations are closely connected to the department?s world-class research groups.

The programme also consist of 30 credits (one term) of elective courses which you can choose from a wide range of courses within computer science, to specialize further in your field of interest or broaden to new areas within computer science.
