Technical Computer Science (Bachelor) and
Computer Science (Master) programmes at the UT UT TCS BSc+MSc

The three-year Technical Computer Science programme is a balanced all-round program that turns fascination of computers into concrete knowledge and technical expertise.

The two-year Computer Science programme is less technical only in the name, and focuses on the development of ICT systems, as well as on their societal context. It offers four specialisations: Software Technology with a bias towards software engineering and modelling; Cyber Security with a bias towards data management and analytics; Data Science and Technology with a bias towards machine learning; and Internet Science and Technology with a bias towards ubiquitous computing.
