Master Computer Science

The Master's degree programe in Computer Science at ETH Zurich offers a profound and in-depth education in several core areas of computer science. The programme guides each individual student in taking a meaningful path through the variety of course offers and designing a profile that matches both personal inclinations and prospective career opportunities. The Master’s degree programme combines theory and hands-on practice to provide students with a well-rounded education.

The study programme is closely connected to the department’s world-class research groups, led by an internationally diverse faculty of over 45 professors. Students have ample opportunities to quickly participate in exciting research projects, often in collabo­ration with industry or with the local research centers of international companies. The possibility of doing an interdisciplinary master's thesis in cooperation with other ETH departments offers further fascinating opportunities – from building flying robots or developing cell simulations to exploring the possibilities of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The Master's degree in Computer Science is geared towards students who have a well-founded basic knowledge in computer science and who have just as much fun in the engineering of computer science as in its scientific aspects.
