You understand how a company works and you take into account the economic, organizational, and human aspects of the business. As a business engineer in information systems engineering, you also translate these business administration elements into information systems that support the decision-making process. You can consider decisions about information technology against the backdrop of the company as a whole, predict their strategic consequences, and carry out (general) management duties.... [-]

Embedded systems: you will find these in dozens of products that we use every day, such as television sets and copiers. The combination of computer science (software) and electrical engineering (hardware) in these types of equipment requires an integrated approach towards the design process. And that, in turn, requires a new type of engineer who has a knowledge of both software and hardware.

The emphasis of the Master's degree program in Embedded Systems lies in the design of efficient and reliable systems. In order to be able to construct reliable protocols for the behavior of complex software systems, you need to have knowledge of algorithms, performance, hardware and design and documentation methods. These subjects are all covered during the Master's program. You also need an understanding of the variability and maintainability of these protocols. These aspects are covered in the compulsory element of the Master's program.... [-]

In a modern world, embedded systems are everywhere — in cars, buildings, factories, and roads. They make the world smart. Embedded systems work in interaction with their environment and other systems. They sense, process and communicate. They may even scavenge their energy from the environment. Embedded systems interact with people or work invisibly in the background. Many systems are designed to increase safety, like the automatic anti-collision braking in a car. Some are designed for fun, like a camera augmenting reality in an outdoor game.

Embedded systems combine hardware and software expertise. As a student, we expect you to know the basics of electronics, digital logic, processors, and programming. Optionally, you are familiar with computer networks and wireless communications. The applicants should hold a BSc degree in computer science, electrical engineering or software engineering.... [-]

Information Systems is concerned with software (and to a lesser extent hardware) that gathers, stores, processes and manages data and communications within an organisation and is at the heart of any large-scale enterprise. The key areas of study are databases, object-oriented programming, systems analysis, networks, digital media systems and information systems management and strategy. The course is designed to enable a career change to Information Systems or update and broaden knowledge and skills if you are already working in the field.

A third of your MSc will consist of a solo Information Systems project with individual supervision normally in a non-technical area. This is supported by a series of seminars/workshops, but the emphasis is on student-centred learning and recognises expectations about student autonomy, typical of postgraduate level and also is part of the strategy to enhance your employability through the development of confidence, self-awareness and self-sufficiency. Switching between MSc Information Systems and MSc Computing is possible as you specialise.... [-]
