Introduction

The program tries to maintain a balance between soft skills and scientific/technical skills, between striving for excellence and pragmatism. It offers :

• an approach based basic concepts in computer science which remain valid beyond the rapidly changing technology ;
• a program entirely in English to improve your skills both in written and spoken technical English ;
• exchange programs and dual degrees in Belgium, Europe and worldwide.

Your profile

You

• aspire to imagine, design, implement and deploy the computer applications that will shape our future;
• have a bachelor degree with a specialization in computer science;
• want to improve your theoretical knowledge and develop your practical skills in disciplines such as artificial intelligence, computer networks, information security, software engineering and programming systems;
• would like to build up soft skills such as foreign languages, management of resources, team work and communication, work discipline and ethics.

• specialists able to implement software solutions with a particular attention to quality of the product and of its development process.

Your programme

The training includes

• a mandatory part, to acquire the skills necessary to model, design complex applications, which completes the required training to all university computer scientists;
• at least one option that you choose, to acquire advanced skills in a field of interest: software engineering and programming systems, artificial intelligence, networking and security;
• elective courses that allow you to focus your training to your interests, whether computer science or any other discipline (management, entrepreneurship, foreign languages ​​...); as the UCL is a wide university, many opportunities are offered;
• an master's thesis, half the workload of the last year, offers the possibility of treating a subject in depth and its magnitude is a true introduction to life as a computer scientist; the subject of this work is chosen in consultation between you, the program committee and possibly an industry.
