You learn methods for constructing software systems, including theoretical foundations and practical skills for developing products and systems. The programme spans areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, algorithms, networks, and computer security, providing a broad foundation before specialisation. During the programme, you meet prominent guest lecturers from the industry and other universities. In the second semester, you choose one of the seven specialisations to gain in-depth knowledge in computer science. The specialisations are closely connected to the department's world-class research groups. In the Cognitive Systems specialisation, you learn how to develop applications with artificial intelligence for tasks traditionally associated with human intelligence. In the
