Advanced Computing and Systems (MSc)

What does this master’s programme entail?

This specialisation focuses on the computer systems of tomorrow. These include the driver of the internet of things, such as high performance computers capable of simultaneously processing huge volumes of data, cloud computing and large database systems satisfying today’s demands on data analysis more than the more conventional transactions do, and embedded systems in which sensors and processors are integrated, making them ‘smart’ and sensitive to the change of the environment.
