In this program you learn to use the computer as a laboratory for solving problems in science and engineering. The program offers exciting thesis projects from many disciplines: biology and life science, chemistry, mathematics, informatics, physics, geophysics, mechanics, geology, computational finance, computational informatics, b ig data analysis, digital signal processing and image analysis – you select research field according to your interests.

A Master’s degree from this program gives you a methodical training in planning, conducting, and reporting large research projects, often together with other students and university teachers. The projects emphasize finding practical solutions, developing an intuitive understanding of the science and the scientific methods needed to solve complicated problems, use of many tools, and not least developing own creativity and independent thinking. The thesis work is a scientific project where you learn to tackle a scientific problem in a professional manner. The program aims also at developing a deep understanding of the role of computing in solving modern scientific problems.

From this program you gain deep insights in the fundamnetal role computations play in our advancement of science and technology, as well as the role computations play in society.
