Program Objectives: 

The M.Sc. of Computer Sciences provides students with an opportunity to broaden their base of knowledge and increase their research capabilities in the field of Computer Science. The program is comprehensive, practical and flexible in nature and it offers students a wide range of core and elective courses in their field of interest. Throughout the entire program research and development are integrated which culminates into performing the thesis or a final project, at the end of the program.  Participants to the program come from a range of different walks of life and have academic backgrounds in a variety of fields. Generally, the program attracts undergraduates from the field of computer science, mathematics and engineering, but the University also welcomes applicants with less customary academic backgrounds, who seek to accommodate their change of personal or professional goals and objectives, and to build a solid academic background in computer science.
