Master in Computer Science: Internet of Things

One of the most important trends in information and communication technology is the tremendous increase in the number of internet-connected devices (30 billion by 2025, according to industry predictions). This booming technology area is usually referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). The rapid growth of the IoT, which is often called the fourth wave of digitalization, is a trend of global importance that touches almost every aspect of society.

The Computer Science: Internet of Things, Master’s Program(two-year) prepares students for careers in a rapidly growing global industry. The demand for people with IoT engineering skills is expected to increase dramatically. Future innovation in the IoT area is expected to accelerate the growth of the IoT sector. This will lead to a growing demand in society for IoT system developers who have skills in the complete IoT value chain while, at the same time, also understanding IoT business aspects. This new and unique master’s program is designed to meet the demand for IoT system developers and has therefore been shaped to address some of the main challenges that both the academy and industry have highlighted about the IoT. These include security, privacy, big data management, interoperability, business models, and usability.

Students will deepen their understanding and skills by practicing methods and technologies used by industry experts at the forefront of IoT research and development. The program has both theoretical and practical elements. The courses focus on the main technological aspects and challenges relevant to future IoT system developers. These include connected devices with limited resources; new computing paradigms; user experience; artificial intelligence (AI) and data management; software architecture and security, innovation, and business models.
