Master by Research in Computer Engineering, 120 credits
The master by research programme in computer engineering targets those who are highly motivated to develop skills and knowledge for a future career in research and development. It is also an excellent preparation for future doctoral studies. During the training you will work with researchers with a specific research question in one of Mittuniversitetets largest research environments. You alternate research work with the academic studies needed to solve the task.
As a student, you are part of a research group at the Sensible Things that Communicate (STC) research center, and participate in a research project where you will work both independently and together with others.
The education consists of theoretical and project-based courses and leads to an individual thesis work during the last semester - a master thesis.
Projects may include areas like wireless communication, 3D visualization, and machine learning.
The Internet of Things is a new and fast expanding area in Computer Science
Entry requirements
English course 6/English course B from Swedish Upper Secondary School (Gymnasium) or the equivalent.
Degree of Bachelor (at least 180 credits/180 ECTS), Degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer or Electrical Engineering (at least 180 credits/180 ECTS), or equivalent, with at least 30 credits/30 ECTS in Mathematics/Applied Mathematics, including courses in probability theory and statistics and discrete mathematics, and 60 credits/60 ECTS in Computer Engineering including 15 credits/15 ECTS in an object oriented programming language.
Eligibility for the research project is assessed on the basis of the applicant's bachelor’s degree project/thesis, a letter of motivation, and, where appropriate, through other documented experience relevant to the subject.
Title of qualification
Degree of Master of Arts/Science (120 credits)
Masterexamen med huvudområdet datateknik, translated into Master of Science (120 credits) with a major in Computer Engineering
or

After the programme
After having completed your Master’s thesis, there are good opportunities to work with research within academy or trade and industry, or in product development with new technology.
Work experience contact
During the programme, you will meet both researchers and companies that our research centre cooperates with. This way, you get useful contacts and experiences to prepare you for your future career.
About STC
STC Research Centre
As a student at the Master By Reserach program you will work together with researchers on a research problem in one of Mid Sweden University’s largest research centers STC - Sensible Things that Communicate. STC develops sensor-based systems and services for use within Internet of Things and AI. The research is conducted in the electronics and computer science with a focus on Industrial IoT, next-generation measurement systems and functional surfaces.
