Introduction

KU Leuven Online Open Day KU Leuven is organizing an online open day on Wednesday 1 December 2021 to inform students about its English-language programs. Discover Europe’s most innovative university and learn more about our international programs, admissions, housing, and much more. For more information, visit. KU Leuven's 'Master of Engineering: Computer Science' will teach you how to lead advanced software projects with as main aspects the specifications, the design, the implementation, the testing, and the maintenance of software systems. You will learn to analyze complex problems in a structured way and to model and reason about them at different levels of abstraction. Furthermore, you will receive training in the necessary, transferable skills to tackle complex research questions, formulate your own research goals, and successfully achieve them, as well as tools for achieving effective communication; stimulating a broad societal view on the relevance of computer science and technology today. To acquire knowledge and understanding of a formal disciplined approach to computer science, the program includes a range of relevant concepts, tools, and techniques, such as algorithms, programming language concepts, programming skills, software design patterns, software development methods, and software architectures. The program also includes the theoretical principles underpinning these topics. This is a solid basis to cope with future developments in computer science. Program outline The program is structured around a mandatory core (48 credits), which includes courses on software development, software architecture, programming, modeling languages, machine learning, and theoretical foundations. Students then opt for one of two advanced specialization areas: software security or artificial intelligence. In both specializations, you will conduct your research and develop novel technology, guided by top experts in the international research community. The master’s thesis covers 24 credits and is started at the outset of the second stage. General education courses (8-10 credits) cover a wide variety of topics such as advanced language courses, economy, law, and advanced mathematics courses. Strengths The program, courses, and areas of specialization are strongly linked to the research groups, guaranteeing state-of-the-art education in the field of computer science. A significant number of courses are focused on industry-relevant skills and content. The high volume of industry-related research projects in the Department of Computer Science allows us to include relevant content in our courses. Students are also encouraged to carry out an industrial and research internship abroad under the supervision of the Internship Coordinator. Please consult our website for recent information on this program.
