High-level research: Whether your interest is in complex algorithms, IT security, logic and semantics, pervasive computing, or something completely different within the field of computer science, this programme gives you the opportunity to specialise in an area of your choice.
The Master’s programme in Computer Science is dedicated to the highest-quality teaching in an informal learning environment. Our international teaching staff expect students to take an active part in the programme, and staff–student consultation is always encouraged. The teaching is a mix of lectures and classes, with preparatory work in study groups.
The master’s programme spans over two years with four semesters. Three semesters are dedicated to specialisations or electives. The last semester is for your master’s thesis, which some choose to write in collaboration with a company. Once enrolled, our study programme manager will help you design your master’s programme based on your interests. Currently, Aarhus University offers nine specialisations in Computer Science:
The Computer Science department has a range of social spaces for getting together with your fellow students outside class, and these are excellent for both study-related and social activities. Our study café is also a great place to get together and work with your study group. The department and our local student associations organise a variety of events and tech talks in collaboration with local and international companies.
Computer scientists continue to be in great demand all over the world, and Computer Science graduates from Aarhus University have a very good reputation. In Aarhus, many IT companies are on the lookout for graduates and student employees, and most of our students sign a contract before handing in their thesis. The department has a close collaboration with many relevant businesses and organisations. Recent graduates have been recruited by leading IT-companies all over the world in areas such as software development, consultancy work, project management, and research.
The department also collaborates closely with the industrial network Destination AARhus. It is a community for IT talents from all over the world, exploring the unique opportunities for building an IT career in Aarhus. Destination AARhus helps international students from the department to find both student and full-time jobs.
We expect applicants to have a Bachelor’s degree which provides a thorough background in basic computer science. This should include:
As the Master’s programme only admits a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission.
Student places are allocated based on an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree. Relevant courses include core courses within the subject areas of computer science, mathematics, probability theory, and statistics.
The Department of Computer Science is located in IT City Katrinebjerg, where Aarhus University has consolidated all its IT degree programmes and research. IT City Katrinebjerg is the base for a large number of IT companies, and facilitates contact between the university, research, and the business community. This provides an ideal base for advanced technological innovation.
As the largest IT education centre in Denmark, with approximately 2,500 students and more than two hundred researchers, IT City Katrinebjerg is an exciting study environment. This multidisciplinary hub, unique to Aarhus University, provides great opportunities in IT for students, researchers, and the business community.
