Description:

Secure, high performance, and distributed computer systems are highly complex pieces of engineering, and this programme will give you the skills to design, develop and maintain them.

You start by going deep into the fundamentals of how computers work, all the way from the hardware up to the operating systems. From this foundation, you branch deeper into more specialised areas that are of most interest to you, with courses in areas like parallel programming, autonomous vehicle technologies, and cryptography. 

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

    To fulfil the general entry requirement for a master's programme at Chalmers (at advanced level/the second cycle), the prospective student must hold a degree that is equivalent to a Swedish Bachelor's degree (minimum 3 years, 180 Swedish higher education credits) in either Science, Engineering or Technology


    Prerequisites: Mathematics at least 18 cr. including Calculus (at least 6 cr.), Linear Algebra (at least 6 cr.) and one of the following courses (at least 6 cr.); Discrete Mathematics or Mathematical Statistics or Probability Theory.

    Computer Science and/or Computer Engineering at least 18 cr. including Computer Hardware (at least 6 credits in e.g., Digital Logic Design, Sequential and Combinational Circuits, Elementary Processor Design with ALU, Data Path and Memory, and Assembly Programming), and Programming (at least 6 credits in a general-purpose language e.g. C/C++/Java/Haskell or similar), and the remaining credits can be fulfilled by courses in programming, data structures, algorithms, computer networks, computer communication, or similar.


    Preferable course experience: Basic Computer Organization, Machine-Oriented Programming, Principles of Concurrent Programming, Mathematical Modelling and Problem Solving, Finite Automata Theory and Formal Languages, Mathematical Modelling and Problem Solving, Functional Programming, Machine-Oriented Programming, Development for Embedded Systems

    Additional Admission Requirements:
