Location of Blekinge Institute of Technology
Today Computing Science is a huge field including topics such as programming languages, algorithms and complexity, data structures, intelligent systems, distributed systems and net-work technology. Over the fifty years that computer science has existed, it has come too defined as the technology of our time. Computers are integrated in many parts of our society and scientific field continues to develop at an astonishing pace. New technologies are constantly is constantly being introduced and the existing ones become obsolete.
Our Master in Computer Science offers is a number of elective courses with an emphasis on information security, information systems and intelligent systems. Courses focus on issues closely related to research frontier in Computing Science. It is included in the master's program to write the master's thesis, which must be based on current research and scientific articles. After the student has obtained master's degree the student is then well prepared for work in industry as well as to make scientific careers at university.
Teaching is conducted through lectures, seminars and laboratory assignments. Depending on the nature of the laboratory assignments they are carried out either individually and in groups.
A credit point is equivalent to a point in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Learning outcomes
In addition the nationally regulated goals, which can be found in paragraph 8, the following goals apply for the education.
After completion of the programme the student will:
* be able to understand advanced software systems
* master advanced technologies in the Computer Science field.
* be able to identify current practice in research in Computing Science.
* carry out an independent research-related project.
* carry out research in the Computer Science field.
* be able to lead the computer science work in a medium or large business.
Job Profiles
After graduation, students should be able to perform work in all parts of computer science field, when connected to software and systems development in a general to specialist level. Roles may be a specialist in techniques or domain to various management posts such as technical manager or project manager.

BTH has several contacts and possible cooperation partners for student exchange.
Contents
This two-year Master program in Computer Science is taught in English and is composed of elective courses in computer science and two compulsory courses that emphasize the methodological aspects of research through the courses Research methodology and the individual Master thesis project. The master thesis should be written in computer science field and is based on the knowledge that the student has gained through previous courses.. The master thesis concludes with an open presentation of the thesis. The master thesis should preferably be done in cooperation with companies related to computer science.
The admission requirements for the optional courses may differ from the admission requirements for the Master program.
Of the 120 ECTS-credits needed for the degree, only 30 ECTS-credits are allowed on a basic level.
For the degree denominated in Swedish as “teknologie Master” requires a minimum of 15 credits in mathematics or applied mathematics at university level. In cases where students do not have this from the bachelor's degree program must two elective mathematics courses be included.
The objectives of the program are achieved through the courses included in the exam. As-sessment and grading is done at module level and details concerning assessment and grading is available in each course syllabus.
During the education each course is evaluated, and the course evaluations are the foundation for continued development.

International element
Programme provides opportunities / mandatory study abroad and special arrangements for this, for example with foreign partner universities. Students have the opportunity to study a semester abroad at any of BTH partner universities. This is facilitated by the existence of a semester with fully elective courses opening for the stay abroad. There is a opportunity to study several semesters abroad as well, but this requires more preparation and a more controlled choices of courses in the foreign university.
Assessment and grading
Assessment and examination varies between different courses in the programme. See information for respective course in the programme.
Programme Evaluations
''There is continuous evaluation of courses within the programme, this happens automatically at each course completion. This information is reviewed of the programme coordinator. In the current time, no evaluation of the program as a whole is done in a structured way. However, the connection with the research group at BTH is tight to ensure the program's composition is updated and satisfactory.
Evaluation of the overall program is planned and when will the students' views are an important part, but also subject representatives and industry contacts will be involved in this process.''
Programme Advisory Board
There is currently no established programme committee for the programme. A programme committee will be established during 2011 when we see that the education and admission to education will change. The program committee will follow the general guidelines developed of BTH quality committee ''Programme Action Plan for Quality Improvement''.
