International Master's Programme in Computer Engineering, 120 credits

About the programme

The programme in computer engineering is an international oriented programme taught entirely in English. This innovative multidisciplinary programme will provide you with advanced knowledge and skills in three essential and critical areas: Communication Networks, Data Analytics, and Security and Privacy. 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. Courses in machine learning, data mining, wireless networks, network security, distributed systems, visualization, and performance modelling are taught by internationally recognized faculty members in the field of computer engineering. In addition to academic training in skills related to Internet of things connectivity, algorithm design, and communication networks engineering, you will gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies and have opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research. The research groups in computer engineering at our university are recognized for their research excellence in wireless sensor networks and 3D visualization.

THE MASTER’S DEGREE PROJECT
The degree project amounts to one full semester of full-time work and is normally undertaken during the last semester. The project is carried out in the area defined by and relevant to the courses taken during the programme. The project may be undertaken in an industry setting, either at a Mid Sweden University department, or in another university or research institute anywhere in the world.,

Entry requirements

Teknologie masterexamen med huvudområdet datateknik, translated into Degree of Master of Science (120 credits) with a major in Computer Engineering.

After the programme

A degree from Mid Sweden University constitutes an excellent foundation for a successful international career. Our graduates are employed in many companies, both local and international ones, and they have taken on a wide variety of tasks. Their jobs include positions as hardware/software developers and application analysis/development engineers, telecommunications network engineers or research and development engineers. As their careers progress, they assume positions as design team leaders, hardware/software architects or consultants, and many have progressed to management positions in R&D departments. Others have opted for academic careers and continued their studies in order to pursue a PhD.

Work experience contact

The research groups at the department have an excellent network with industry, including companies like IBM, Intel, Google, Ericsson, Huawei, ABB, Siemens, and BBC.
