An exciting opportunity to study in a leading research environment. Computer Science and Engineering is a research-oriented master's programme concentrating on intelligent digital solutions to real-world problems.
Both theoretical and practical studies are included in the curriculum in a balanced way. The two-year programme has four study options to choose from or even mix between:
- Study Applied Computing: Applied Computing focuses on the next generation of interactive systems that place humans at the center of technological development. Adopting a multidisciplinary real-world approach, students spend a substantial amount of time working in group projects to develop a variety of systems ranging from interactive online services to games and mobile applications, with a strong focus on innovation and design.
- Study Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence focuses on various fields of AI, such as machine learning, machine vision, and data mining. This study option provides students with a solid theoretical understanding and practical skills in processing and analyzing digital data and the ability to create intelligent solutions to real-world problems with modern AI techniques.
- Study Computer Engineering: Computer Engineering focuses on software aspects of computing with an emphasis on embedded system development. In this study option, students also study signal processing and its applications and work with projects on modern signal processors and embedded computers. Moreover, the specialisation gives the students a good basis to work with Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
- Study Cyber Security: Cyber security is a new study option based on the research excellence in software security at the University of Oulu. The student specialising in cyber security will be able to design, develop, test and evaluate systems, software or hardware for security goals in the ever evolving digital landscape.
