Master by Research in Computer Engineering

About this programme

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. English level 2/English 6 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
