Computer systems and networks, master's programme at


Chalmers
In this master’s programme, you will develop a solid grasp of computer systems and
networks through a broad, yet in-depth, training experience in the field of Computer
science and engineering. You will acquire theoretical knowledge and engineering skills
in cyber security, computer systems engineering, dependable real-time systems, and
distributed computing and systems. The master's programme instils a set of essential
skills that prepare you to work in Information and computing technology (ICT).
Courses in computer networks, parallel and distributed systems, computer
architecture, cyber security, and real-time systems are taught by internationally
recognized faculty in computer science and engineering. In addition to academic
training in skills related to algorithm design, programming languages, and computer
systems engineering, you will gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies
and have opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research. This master's
programme is the first within Chalmers to provide the necessary preparation to
contribute to ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and other rapidly growing
areas in the expanding ICT industry. If you are interested in becoming a technology

expert in these and other areas, the programme provides an excellent background for
pursuing doctoral studies.
In the master's programme, you will learn to design methodologies used to construct
computer systems and networks. Such methodologies include fault-tolerant distributed
algorithm design, concurrent programming, computer systems engineering, and secure
and dependable systems design. The coursework is designed to develop both your
theoretical knowledge and practical expertise.
For example, you will learn how to: Design a system based on new and existing
components (systems engineering), understand low-level hardware/software
interaction, develop systems and applications (programming), analyse performance
and system design limitations (distributed computing).
You will also learn to assess, evaluate, and design systems, programmes and
applications to increase security and dependability (systems design).​Rather than
concentrating on a single aspect of computer systems and networks, the courses
provide the broad, practical, and up-to-date experience required by major ICT
companies that develop computer systems and networks.

2/21/23, 1:02 PM Computer systems and networks, MSc | Chalmers

The master’s programme has been carefully designed to be relevant to a growing


industrial and governmental ICT sector. In particular, the healthcare, e-commerce,
aerospace, automotive, and telecom industries all rely on secure, dependable, safe,
and energy-efficient computing systems and communication networks.
The master’s programme gives you the opportunity to combine academic training with
engineering work experience, a combination that opens up diverse career paths, such
as becoming the chief technology officer who takes responsibility for the company’s
technological development plan and influences its competitiveness in the market or
the systems architect and designer who builds computer systems and designs,
networked applications and protocols.
You can also take on the role of the project manager responsible for driving specific
projects by choosing technical directions and leading people.
Other roles available for you after graduation are the software engineer who develops
systems and run-time software that interfaces to the hardware platform or the security
and network specialist who oversees company computer resources to ensure that
sensitive data and services are only accessible to authorized users.

Research
The faculty behind the programme has an established track record of academic,
industrial and scientific accomplishments in research areas like for example cyber
security, dependable real-time systems, distributed computing and systems and
computer architecture.
As a student in this programme, you will be invited to take part in such research
through seminars, thesis projects, and other individual and group projects. Past
research collaborations including master-level students have yielded many innovations
and accompanying scientific publications. Moreover, many of our graduates have been
accepted to PhD studies at Chalmers and other leading institutions worldwide.
