The Master's programme for those who want to lead the IT and development work
A Master's degree in Computing Science will open the door to a future and highly rewarding career where you can lead development work in large organisations and companies. During your studies, you will have the opportunity to take on several different roles – such as manager, employee or project manager. This allows you to see problems from different angles and develop customised solutions for optimal operations. This unique approach distinguishes Umeå from other Master's programmes!
"Classes are smaller than in Germany, so it's a bit more personal. You know your teacher and call them by their first name and your teacher knows you."
There is a great need for high IT skills in the business, industry and society. Our Master's Programme in Computing Science allows you to specialise in your area of interest and to choose between many international career paths. If you're looking to immerse yourself in software development, this is a perfect programme with great personal freedom and many advanced courses to choose from!
