Digitalisation is making rapid advances in all spheres of life that make up our society. With the Computer Science profile on the Master of Science in Engineering degree programme, you gain the necessary qualifications to actively shape these developments.
As a graduate of the Computer Science profile, you:
Master of Science in Engineering
Career opportunities in computer science are found in the fields of software development, IT and communications systems, cybersecurity, advanced user interfaces and embedded computing. You can apply your skills in research and development or management – with opportunities in all sectors of the world of work.
As a Master of Science in Engineering graduate with the Computer Science profile, you develop innovative ICT systems and architectures in close cooperation with users and stakeholders. You integrate these innovations into heterogeneous IT landscapes, taking account of all applicable security, quality and regulatory requirements. In addition to your technical expertise, you also possess the management skills required to lead development teams and assume responsibility for the management of IT infrastructure.
A very good bachelor of science degree in IT is required. The assessment of the entry qualifications is part of the admissions procedure.
The focus of the master’s degree programme is on specialising in greater depth; two-thirds of the programme is devoted to this and is completed at a research unit of a university of applied sciences. As part of this in-depth specialisation you will write two project theses and the master’s thesis.
One-third of your degree programme focuses on theory, which is taught in modules. These theory modules are subdivided into three areas:
Your degree programme is planned with support from your advisor. This study advisor will also guide you on the choice of theory modules and specialisation.
By developing state-of-the-art information technologies and management methods and applying them to specific challenges, we support commerce and society on the path to the digital future.
At the Research Institute for Security in the Information Society (RISIS), we conduct research and development activities on new technologies and tools for IT security and the protection of privacy. This also helps promote trust in the modern information society.
Do you have any more questions? Prof. Rolf Gasenzer, Head of the Computer Science profile of this master’s degree programme, would be happy to advise you personally. We look forward to hearing from you.
The Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering covers a wide range of specialist skills. They are currently divided into 14 profiles throughout Switzerland. The Master of Science in Engineering can be obtained from Bern University of Applied Sciences in ten profiles.
