The aim of the program is to train IT professionals who, based on the theoretical foundations that
ensure the development of their knowledge in the long run, are able to perform the development,
creation, application, implementation, operation and servicing of IT systems independently and in
teamwork. They also have the cooperation and modeling skills needed to solve the IT tasks of their
field of application, they are able to perform and coordinate research projects related to IT. They are
prepared to continue their studies at PhD level. 

The aim of the Master of Engineering in Computer Science is twofold. On the one hand, to train computer engineers who
capable of developing IT systems, IT applications (software) and IT
services, and on the other hand, have the skills to develop, design, implement and monitor
the theoretical knowledge required to complete a doctorate in computer science
schools to obtain a PhD degree.

The aim of the Master's degree in Computer Engineering is to train engineers who, having acquired a high level of scientific and specific technical knowledge in the field of informatics, are capable of designing new IT systems and tools, developing and integrating IT systems, carrying out and coordinating research and development tasks in the field of informatics, and continuing their studies in the framework of a PhD.

This programme aims to provide students with in-demand (for both a wide range of industries and academic disciplines) skills and knowledge of the techniques and technologies underpinning parallelism and High Performance Computing (HPC).

You will study at EPCC, the UK’s leading supercomputing centre and a Centre of Excellence within the University's College of Science and Engineering. EPCC is a major provider of high performance computing (HPC) training in Europe with an international reputation for excellence in HPC education and research.

What is High Performance Computing?

High Performance Computing (HPC) is the use of powerful processors, networks and parallel supercomputers to tackle problems that are very computationally or data-intensive.

What will I learn?

This programme aims to provide you with in-demand skills and knowledge of the techniques and technologies underpinning parallelism and HPC. Skills and knowledge will be gained across a wide range of industries and academic disciplines.
