sinf2m1  2016-2017  Louvain-la-Neuve

 The computer science developers and designers of tomorrow face two major challenges:
  • increasingly complex computer science systems
  • increasingly varied areas of application

In order to meet these challenges, future diploma holders should:

  • master real computer science technologies but also keep up with their constant progress
  • work as part of multidisciplinary teams that take into account non-technical issues

The future diploma holder in computer science will acquire the knowledge and skills to become:

  • scientists who know how to understand and analyse the complex requirements that a computer system must meet;
  • professionals who will design computer systems that meet users’ needs;
  • specialists capable of implementing software solutions with particular attention paid to product quality and its development process;

This Master’s degree programme (60) provides an in-depth understanding of concepts and emphasises abstract thinking. This theoretical approach is complemented by the application of these concepts. The programme thus includes numerous projects and studies.

Apart from certain exceptions outlined in the detailed course programme, all courses in the programme are given in English. Thus the mastery of this language is indispensable in the area of computer science. This offers Francophone students the opportunity to intensively practice their English throughout their training.

 


On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1.démontrer la maîtrise d’un solide corpus de connaissances en informatique, lui permettant de résoudre les problèmes qui relèvent de sa discipline

2.organiser et de mener à son terme une démarche de développement d’un système informatique répondant aux besoins généralement complexes d’un client

3.contribuer en équipe à la conduite d’un projet et de le mener à son terme en tenant compte des objectifs, des ressources allouées et des contraintes qui le caractérisent

4.communiquer efficacement oralement et par écrit en vue de mener à bien les projets qui lui sont confiés dans son environnment de travail (en particulier en anglais).

1.demonstrate mastery of a solid body of knowledge in computer science allowing them to solve problems raised in their field of study

2.organise and carry out the development of a computer system that meets the complex demands of a client

3.contribute as part of a team to the planning and completion of a project while taking into account its objectives, allocated resources, and constraints

4.communicate effectively (orally or in writing) with the goal of carrying out assigned projects in the workplace (in English in particular)

5.demonstrate rigor, openness and critical thinking as well as a sense of ethics in your work
