Chalmers University of Technology

This master's programme offers a comprehensive foundation in the science of programming. It will give you a strong basis for developing the computer applications of today and tomorrow and for conducting innovative research and promoting development. It is suitable for you who wish to study the core areas of computer science on an advanced level in order to prepare for research and development in the software industry. It also provides an ideal basis for academic research in computer science.

The master's programme, you will learn to design methodologies used to construct computer systems and networks. Such methodologies include fault-tolerant distributed algorithm design, concurrent programming, computer systems engineering, and secure and dependable systems design. The coursework is designed to develop both your theoretical knowledge and practical expertise.

The courses of the programme will provide a solid foundation in machine learning, statistics, and optimization, with an in-depth understanding of the mathematical modelling techniques used for extracting information from large sets of complex data, and with the computational skills and algorithms for working with such data. You will also gain familiarity with a range of common problems within Data science and AI which can be solved with such techniques.

The master's programme is intended to bridge different worldviews, exercise the ability to perceive and understand diverse perspectives and support a reciprocal, mutual, understanding between actors in the construction sector such as user, client, architect, engineer, consultant, planner, or an economist. The programme will prepare you for a long-lasting professional career by providing a broad repertoire of problem-solving methods and by integrating theory and practice to understand and manage the complexity in the actualization of a construction project.

In Information and communication technology, you will get ready for an advanced engineering career in the fields of communication and information science. You will acquire deep theoretical and applied knowledge, the competence to conduct complex multidisciplinary projects, and a passion for discovery.The core courses of the programme will give you solid analytical skills and an understanding of the fundamental principles of communication and information processing: probability theory and statistical learning, digital signal processing, information and communication theory, communication networking, and security. The master’s programme offers three main tracks for specialisation with a generous number of elective courses to choose from.

The master's programme combines a number of perspectives on software engineering, all of which promote the common goal of educating engineers who are skilled in designing quality software at low development and maintenance costs. Software engineering and technology is also a platform for future researchers who get qualified to perform advanced technological and methodological experiments in software engineering. The programme focuses on three main competences in software engineering: advanced technical knowledge and skills, advanced knowledge of methods and processes, and advanced knowledge of industrial activities and practices. The combination of this knowledge is highly valued and in great demand in the software industry in order to support, innovate, and improve practices with new methods and tools.

The master's programme focuses on the design, management and improvement of supply chain management strategies. It is multidisciplinary and builds on several scientific disciplines. One important way a company can improve its competitiveness is to apply supply chain management (SCM). This programme will help you to develop your skills in purchasing, logistics, marketing, transport and general management.

The master's programme in Physics is intended for those who have a strong interest in theoretical, computational, and/or experimental aspects of physics and astronomy. In short, the theory provides models and concepts that can explain and predict experimental observations. The use of computers allows for numerical computation of the fundamental laws of physics and the use of advanced techniques, for example, machine learning and quantum computing.

This master's programme also embraces process design, engineering, modelling and control. The practical applications of biotechnology include age-old techniques such as brewing, fermentation and cheese-making, all of which are still important today. The introduction of new techniques based on fundamental biological research has resulted in major advances. Microorganisms and cells (or parts thereof) are utilized to produce valuable products, and new medicines are also products of biotechnology.

This master's programme is an internationally competitive education that aims to educate engineers who can work at the technological front and use modern biomedical technologies to meet a growing need in healthcare sectors and the biomedical engineering industry, but also in other industries that have elements of biomedical engineering technology. The education will give you a broad biomedical technology foundation with a certain focus on medical imaging, medical products and entrepreneurship and digital health.

The master’s programme in Architecture and urban design will give you the skills and knowledge needed to practice architecture and urban design professionally. The programme emphasises a research-oriented approach in order to anticipate future challenges for architects and urban designers. Its profile is design-led and practical, as well as academic and theoretical.
