The Postgraduate Computer Science program aims to:
• offer students the opportunity to acquire deep knowledge and research expertise in one or more fields of Computer Science.
• prepare graduates able to pursue careers in positions of responsibility in either academia or industry, where they will effectively drive the development and application of new methods and ideas.
• offer the students with education in the widest sense of the term, and cultivate the desire for continuous learning, which, in turn, leads to maturity and develops the facilities for independent and critical thinking.
• help our graduates in order to acquire a deep understanding of Computer Science, both as a science, and in terms of its more general applications and effects on society.
• prepare our graduates, so whichever career path they choose, their studies will have given them the necessary grounding to keep abreast of the incredibly rapid scientific and technological developments in Computer Science.
• Provides transferable skills such as ability to pursue pure and comprehensive scientific communication (both written and spoken) and experience in gathering and collecting information.
Key Learning Outcomes
By the time they graduate, our students are expected to:
• Have acquired deep knowledge and research expertise in one or more fields of Computer Science through the classes outlined in Annex 2.
