Knowledge and understanding
For a master's degree in computer science, the student must:
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of computer science, including both broad knowledge of computer science and significantly advanced knowledge of the Internet of Things sub-field, as well as in-depth insight into current research and development work, and
- demonstrate advanced methodological knowledge in computer science.
Skills and abilities
For a master's degree in computer science, the student must:
- demonstrate the ability to critically and systematically integrate knowledge and to analyse, assess and deal with complex phenomena, issues and situations, even with limited information,
- demonstrate the ability to critically, independently and creatively identify and formulate questions, to plan and, with adequate methods, carry out advanced tasks within given time frames and thereby contribute to the development of knowledge, as well as to evaluate this work,
- demonstrate the ability to, in both national and international contexts, orally and in writing, clearly account for and discuss their conclusions and the knowledge and arguments on which they are based in dialogue with different groups, and
Qualitative targets
- demonstrate the skills required to participate in research and development, or to work independently in other qualified activities.
Judgement and approach
For a master's degree in computer science, the student must:
- demonstrate the ability to make assessments in computer science with regard to relevant disciplinary, social and ethical aspects, and demonstrate awareness of ethical aspects of research and development work,
- demonstrate insight into the possibilities and limitations of science, its role in society and people's responsibility for how it is used, and
- demonstrate the ability to identify their own need for further knowledge and take responsibility for their knowledge development.
