Program Overview

This master’s programme aims to maintain a balance between “soft skills” and scientific/technical skills, between the pursuit of excellence and practical field work. It offers an approach of to computer science based on fundamental concepts, that will remain relevant despite the rapid evolution of technologies; a programme taught entirely in English to improve students’ language skills (technical written and spoken English); exchange programs and dual degrees in Belgium, Europe and throughout the world. In line with the bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, this programme seeks to train well-rounded engineers by offering majors in related disciplines such as applied mathematics, electronics and telecommunications.

Career Opportunities

We train scientists who know how to investigate complex problems using scientific literature of the field; professionals who will design computer systems that meet user needs; innovators who master a broad range of technologies and their constant evolution; specialists capable of implementing software solutions with particular attention to product quality and the development process.

Program Curriculum

This master’s degree includes a mandatory part aimed at acquiring the necessary skills to model and design complex applications, which completes the essential training for any university-level computer scientist; a major of your choice allowing you to gain cutting-edge skills in a field of interest, such as: core areas of computer sciences: artificial intelligence, computer networks, cryptography and information security, software engineering, and system programming; bordering on other engineering sciences: communication networks, applied mathematics and data science, biomedical engineering, and bioinformatics; beyond computer science: management and creation of small and medium-sized entreprises; elective courses that enable you to tailor your training to your interests, whether in computer science or any other discipline (electricity, management, business creation, languages). As a university offering a full range of courses, UCLouvain offers many options for broadening your education; a graduation project representing half your workload in the final year providing an opportunity to delve deeply into a topic and serving as a genuine introduction to the professional life of a computer scientist or researcher. The topic is chosen in consultation with you, programme coordinators, and potentially a company.

Admission Requirements

You aim to imagine, design and implement computer systems that will shape the future; focus on computer science and engineering after acquiring a solid general foundation in sciences and technology (maths, mechanics, electricity, chemistry, etc.) during your bachelor's; enhance your theoretical knowledge and develop technical skills; improve your interdisciplinary knowledge in areas such as foreign languages, resource management, teamwork, autonomy and ethics; expand your training to include management or the creation of small and medium-sized entreprises; benefit from a programme taught entirely in English.
