Master [120] in Computer Science and Engineering

Introduction

This Master’s degree programme strikes a balance between “soft skills” and scientific/technical skills as well as between high quality research and practical field work. It offers

• the study of computer science based on fundamental concepts, the value of which goes beyond rapidly evolving technology;
• a programme taught entirely in English to improve students’ language skills (technical written and spoken English);
• exchange programs and dual degrees in Belgium, Europe and throughout the world.

As with the Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, this programme seeks to train well-rounded engineers by offering majors in related disciplines such as applied math, or electronics and communication.

Your Profile

You would like to

• imagine, design and implement computer systems that will shape the future;
• focus on computer science and engineering after having studied science and technology (math, mechanics, electricity, chemistry, etc.) as an undergraduate student;
• improve your theoretical knowledge and develop technical skills;
• increase your interdisciplinary knowledge in areas such as foreign languages, resource management, teamwork, autonomy and ethics;
• expand your training to include management and small and medium sized business creation;
• take advantage of a programme taught entirely in English.

 

Your Future Job

We train

• scientists who know how to investigate a sharp problematic using scientific literrature in the field;
• professionals who will design information systems that correspond to user needs;
• innovators who can master a wide range of technology and record its progress;
• specialists capable of implementing software solutions with particular attention to product quality and the development process.

 

Your Programme

This Master’s degree consists of:

• a compulsory part providing the knowledge necessary to model and design complex applications
• a major of your choice that allows you to acquire cutting edge knowledge in an area of interest
• at the heart of computer sciences: artificial intelligence, computer networks, cryptography and information security, software engineering, and system programming;
• at the frontier with other engineering sciences: communication networks, applied mathematics and data science, biomedical engineering, and bioinformatics;
• beyond computer science: management and small and medium sized business creation;
• elective courses that allow you to focus your training on your areas of interest, whether they be computer science or any other discipline (electricity, management, business creation, languages);
• a graduation project (representing half your workload during the last year) offers the possibility to discuss a subject in-depth. Due to its size and scope, this project allows for an initiation into the working life of computer scientists and/or researchers. The project’s subject is selected in consultation with the programme heads and possibly a company.
