Computing Science is a two year master program in English at Radboud University.
Computers affect almost every aspect of our daily lives and the enormous and still rapidly growing power of ICT is the main driving force shaping our modern society: not only technologically and economically, but also scientifically, as all sciences benefit from the raw power of software in processing huge quantities of data. This also raises important questions. How can we make the most of the opportunities? How can we manage and control the complexity of modern software? How can we effectively use the ever increasing amounts of data?
If you want to find the answer of these questions, Computing Science is your program.
The program has six specializations:
