Beschreibung des Programms

The Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Computer Science (CS) provides an innovative curriculum involving two specializations – Software Development and Data Science.

The M.S. in CS program is aimed to equip students with the necessary theoretical fundamentals as well as knowledge about cutting edge application tools to solve data science and software development problems

Specializations

Software Development students will graduate prepared to design, develop, test and evaluate the software. Students are trained to be in charge of the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software.

Data Science students will acquire cutting-edge skills in the mathematical methods of data science, computational data analysis, machine learning, deep learning and applications in big data.

Across industries, organizations are increasingly relying on data to make decisions. To manage all this data requires expertise not only in machine learning but also programming for data science and computing methods for big data.
