Computer science – algorithms, languages and logic master's programme​ at Chalmers Computer systems are becoming increasingly powerful and intelligent, and they rely on more sophisticated techniques. To master the complexity of these systems, it is essential to understand the core areas of computer science. This master's programme offers a comprehensive foundation in the science of programming. It will give you a strong basis for developing the computer applications of today and tomorrow and for conducting innovative research and promoting development. It is suitable for you who wish to study the core areas of computer science on an advanced level in order to prepare for research and development in the software industry. It also provides an ideal basis for academic research in computer science. The core of the programme covers four main areas of computing science Algorithms including artificial intelligence, machine learning and optimization Logic including applications in hardware and software verification Programming languages with underlying principles, implementation techniques and advanced programming techniques. Computer security including cryptography and programming language-based approaches to security. The optional segment of the master's programme gives you a broad range of courses in other areas of computer science, such as bioinformatics, software engineering, mathematics and other relevant areas. Most of our students have a bachelor's in computer science. However, the programme can also serve as a conversion course if you have a bachelor's degree in related subjects, such as mathematics, physics or engineering sciences, given that you have basic knowledge of mathematics and programming and have completed an introductory computer science course such as data structures or algorithms.

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. 

The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses. ​

Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year the programme starts with three compulsory courses that form a common foundation in Computer science – algorithms, languages and logic. Each course is usually 7.5 credits. ​

Algorithms
Logic in computer science
Programming language technology​
Compulsory courses year 2
In the second year you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.

The computer scientist in society
Master’s thesis​ ​
Compulsory elective courses
Through profile courses you may choose to specialise in one or several of the following tracks. You must choose at least four courses and they can come from any track.

Elective courses
You will also be able to select courses outside of your programme plan. These are called elective courses. You can choose from a wide range of elective courses available at Chalmers.
