HIGH-LEVEL RESEARCH
Whether your interest is in complex algorithms, IT security, logic and semantics, pervasive computing, or something completely different within the field of computer science, this programme gives you the opportunity to specialise in an area of your choice. For more information regarding research areas in computer science at Aarhus University, visit www.cs.au.dk/research.
QUALITY TEACHING IN AN INFORMAL SETTING
Our master’s programme in Computer Science is dedicated to high-quality teaching in an informal learning environment. Our international teaching staff expect all students to take an active part in the programme, and staff–student consultation is always encouraged. If you need clarification of the course material or guidance on project work our academic staff and teaching assistants are available to help. The teaching is a mix of lectures and classes, with preparatory work in study groups. The programme is taught in English, but classes have a mix of Danish and international students.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
The master’s programme spans over two years with four semesters. Three semesters are dedicated to electives within areas of your interest. The last semester is for your master’s thesis, which some choose to write in collaboration with a company. Once enrolled, our study programme manager will help you design your master’s programme based on your interests. Currently, Aarhus University offers courses within nine areas of Computer Science:
· Advanced Machine Learning and Data Science
· Algorithmics
· Bioinformatics
· Cryptology*
· Data-Intensive Systems
· Human-Computer Interaction
· Logic, Semantics and Verification
· Programming Languages and Software Security*
· Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction
*Combine these tracks to specialize in Cybersecurity.
For more in-depth information about the Computer Science study programme and subjects, please visit .masters.au.dk/computerscience.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Applicants are expected to have a bachelor’s degree which provides a thorough background in basic computer science. This should include:
· Computation theory: formal languages and compilation, mathematical logic and undecidability, design and analysis of algorithms, and data structures.
As the master’s programme only admits a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission. Student places are allocated based on an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria:
· Academic background
· Overall grade level of bachelor’s degree
· Grades achieved on relevant courses*
· Relevant courses* (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.
*Relevant courses include core courses within industrial design, mathematics, probability theory, and statistics.
STUDENT LIFE
The department has a range of social spaces for getting together with your fellow, and these are an excellent place for both study-related and social activities. Our study café is also a great place to get together and work with your study group. The department and our student associations organise a variety of events and tech talks in collaboration with local and international companies.
CAREERS
Computer scientists continue to be in great demand all over the world, and Computer Science graduates from Aarhus University have a very good reputation. In Aarhus, many IT companies are on the lookout for graduates and student employees, and most of our students sign a contract before handing in their thesis. The department has a close collaboration withmany relevant businesses and organisations. Recent graduates have been recruited by leading IT -companies all over the world in areas such as software development, consultancy work, project management, and research.
