As a student of this master’s programme, you will develop a solid grasp of computer systems and networks through a broad, yet in-depth, training experience in the field of Computer science and engineering.
You will acquire theoretical knowledge and engineering skills in:
Cyber security
Computer systems engineering
Dependable real-time systems
Distributed computing and systems
The master's programme instils a set of essential skills that prepare you to work in Information and Computing Technology (ICT). Courses in computer networks, parallel and distributed systems, computer architecture, cyber security, and real-time systems are taught by internationally recognised faculty in Computer science and engineering. In addition to academic training in skills related to algorithm design, programming languages and computer systems engineering, you will gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies and have opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research. This master's programme is the first within Chalmers to provide the necessary preparation to contribute to ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and other rapidly growing areas in the expanding ICT industry. If you are interested in becoming a technology expert in these and other areas, the programme provides an excellent background for pursuing doctoral studies.
Why apply
You will learn the design methodologies used to construct computer systems and networks. Such methodologies include Fault-tolerant distributed algorithm design, Concurrent programming, Computer systems engineering and secure and Dependable systems design. The coursework is designed to develop both your theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. For example, you will learn how to:
design a system based on new and existing components (Systems engineering)
understand low-level hardware/software interaction, develop systems and applications (Programming)
analyse performance and system design limitations (Distributed computing) and
assess, evaluate, and design systems, programs and applications to increase security and dependability (Systems design).
Rather than concentrating on a single aspect of computer systems and networks, the courses provide the broad, practical and up-to-date experience required by major ICT companies who develop computer systems and networks.
Who should apply
The programme trains professionals in the field of Computer science and engineering. We welcome applications from graduates of Computer science, Computer engineering, Information engineering, Software engineering, Electrical engineering, Mechatronics, Mathematics and Physics.
You should identify yourself as someone who understands the connection between the systems and hardware and also be able to programme (write code).
Topics covered
The subjects of computer networks and architecture and distributed systems are fundamental areas in the Computer systems and networks master’s programme. The courses included in the programme plan handle topics such as real-time systems and cyber security.
