Master the design, development, and optimization of systems that drive everything from software and networks to large-scale infrastructure. Gain the expertise to build systems that are not only powerful but also efficient. And as digital threats rise, you'll learn how to create secure, resilient systems that can withstand cyber-attacks.
In today’s connected world, the demand for efficient and reliable computer systems is ever-growing. Industries like healthcare, e-commerce, aerospace, automotive, and telecom all rely on secure and efficient computing systems. This master’s programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical engineering skills to meet these needs, focusing on the critical needs of our digital society.
First, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of target hardware and software, their interaction via middleware, the metrics, evaluation, and assessment methods to develop computer systems that are cost- and energy-efficient, robust, and dependable. Second, designing a secure system requires you to address challenges such as anticipating cyber threats, securely handling sensitive data, implementing protective measures, understanding ethical considerations, and complying with industry standards. The programme equips you with the theoretical knowledge, tools, and techniques needed to tackle these key aspects of digitalization.
This programme begins with obligatory courses like computer networks, operating systems, computer security, and distributed systems. These core courses will build your background for advanced courses in different profile areas like distributed systems, cybersecurity, machine learning, and cyber-physical systems. The courses are taught by leading faculty whose research in computer systems and cybersecurity is integrated into the curriculum. Strong ties to industry bring real-world examples, experiments, and guest lectures into the programme.
You'll gain insights into modern computing, engage in research through projects, and complete a master's thesis under faculty supervision, often in collaboration with industry. For those aspiring to become technology experts in computer systems and cybersecurity, this programme also provides a solid foundation for pursuing doctoral studies. Previous research collaborations with master’s students have led to numerous innovations and scientific publications.
