- Visualization
- Secure and reliable communication
- Optimization
- Bioinformatics
Admission
Admission Requirements
General admission criterias:
You must have obtained a first degree (bachelor's degree) of three or four years duration from an approved institution of higher education.
Your bachelor's degree must include mimimum 20 ECTS of Mathematics and minimum 60 ECTS of Informatics/Computer science.
Additional credits in Mathematics and/or Informatics can be an advantage.
Documentation of proficiency in English is also necessary if you are reciding abroad, or you have an international background.
Note that the master's programme has a limited number of places.
See each programme option/specialization for more information about aims and content.
For international self-financing applicants:
The Master's Degree Programme in Informatics receives approx. 140 - 180 applications from self-financing students each year. Approx. 5-8 applicants are given an offer of admission.
The average grade of the Bachelor's degree must be at least 2nd class upper division/B or the equivalent as academic result.
It is very important that you enter in your application what programme option/specialization you are interested in (Algorithms, Optimization, Bioinformatics, Secure and reliable communications or Visualization).
Quota Scheme
The Master's Degree Programme in Informatics is not a part of the Quota Scheme, and therefore we do not accept Quota applicants.
