Master (2 years) Computer Engineering, MSc in Engineering

About this course

Description The Master of Science in engineering programme Computer Engineering at Aalborg University is a two-year, research-based full-time study programme of 120 ECTS. Computer Engineering is an engineering programme targeted at B.Sc. graduates in computer engineering, electronic engineering, software engineering and similar. It is for students interested in AI, vision, sound, distributed systems and networks. At the core of modern technology ranging from small IoT-devices, over phones, computers, robots to self-driving vehicles, are two fundamental building blocks, namely communication systems and intelligent algorithms. The Computer Engineering programme will equip you with strong competences within these fields, which will allow you to significantly contribute to designing and implementing new technologies that will make a real difference in the world. Depending on your interests, you can choose to specialise in one of two directions: AI, vision and sound Networks and distributed systems AI, vision and sound You will work with theories and methods about the foundations of Artificial Intelligent (AI) as well as novel algorithms and concepts such as Deep Learning. AI algorithms are to some degree approximating human intelligence, which ultimately means that technology can perform tasks similar to those which humans can perform. The most important human senses are the ability to see and hear, and AI algorithms operating on images/video and sound are therefore central to the future of AI. To this end, this specialisation has a special focus on AI algorithms for processing of images and sound. Networks and distributed systems A computer is rarely working in isolation, but as part of a larger system, consisting of other computers such as Internet. To achieve connectivity, we first and foremost need to design and implement a communication network that will interlink different devices. The complexity of communication networks grows, and many cases require a distributed mode of operation, where focus is on system reliability or real-time operation requirements. Therefore, this specialisation especially focus on theories and methods regarding distributed systems. Career Opportunities Candidates are likely to find employment within areas such as wireless and mobile communication, consumer audio and video, sound and audio products, multimedia, medical aids, instrumentation, automotive applications, avionics, navigation, etc. Hiring companies could be (not limited to): Lyngsoe Systems Grundfos Bang & Olufsen Siemens Wind Power Oticon Medical Niras Cowi Rambøll Motorola The Danish Road Directorate Admission Read about application and requirements of Computer Engineering Read about language requirements of Aalborg University How to apply Student Guidance To find out whether the level of your foreign certificate or diploma satisfies the general entry requirements, you should contact Aalborg University directly at masteradmission@aau.dk.
