The Computing Science Master's programme offers a solid, theoretical understanding of computer technology with plenty of attention for the wide range of ICT applications.
The enormous and rapidly growing power of ICT is the main driving force shaping our modern society. This goes beyond the technical and economical aspects. ICT is also essential in research as all sciences benefit from the raw power of software in processing huge quantities of data. But how do we manage and control the complexity of modern software? How can we make the most of the opportunities? And, not to be forgotten, how can we secure the ICT infrastructures we so heavily rely on? The Master's programme in Computing Science covers all these aspects.
Within this Master's programme, we offer 5 specialisations in each terrain: Cyber Security, Software Science, Data Science, Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, and Cyber Security & AI. These are not, however, isolated disciplines. We also look at the interesting interplay between them. For example, by taking privacy into account when dealing with big data. And by doing a thorough analysis of newly designed software to prevent security breaches later. Tha...
The interplay between AI and Cyber Security provides solutions to many real-world problems, but also brings new challenges. You will learn to understand the latest approaches in this field.
In the Master's specialisation in Cyber Security and AI you will learn various aspects of cyber security and AI. The unique aspect of the specialisation is the consideration of interplay between cybersecurity and AI - both AI for security and security of AI.
In the specialisation you can design your own programme and focus on themes like cryptography, network security, privacy, software security, and AI. You have the chance to learn about both technical and sociotechnical topics. A graduate of this programme will be able to cover a wide selection of challenges arising in the modern world.

In this Master's specialisation, the focus is on learning how to design high-level software that guarantees safety and correctness while still being in control of its complexity.
Producing software is not merely a technological enterprise but a deeply scientific and creative one as well. Software plays a role in almost every aspect of our daily lives and in every organisation anywhere in the world. It can often be a crucial key to their success. Well-structured software that is attuned to an organisation's needs and future plans can be cost effective, improve efficiency, offer better services and be innovative.
This Master's specialisation brings you to the forefront of academic research on software, and prepares you to play a leading role in building the society of tomorrow. The programme builds on the strong international reputation of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) in three closely related areas: software technology, computer-aided analysis, and theory of computation. You will follow courses in each of these areas. Depending on your interests, you can then specialise in one area, or study the fascinating links between the areas.
This specialisation goes far beyond basic code writing. It's about analysing and testing code in order to improve it as well as simplify it.

This Master's specialisation will teach you how to turn real-world data sets into tools and useful insights, with the help of software and algorithms.
Data plays a role in almost every scientific discipline, business industry or social organisation. Medical scientists sequence human genomes, astronomers generate terabytes of data per hour with huge telescopes and the police employ seismology-like data models that predict where crimes will occur. And of course, businesses like Google and Amazon are shifting user preference data to fulfil desires we don't even know we have. There is therefore an urgent need for data scientists in whole array of fields. In the Master's specialisation in Data Science you'll learn how to turn data into knowledge with the help of computers and how to translate that knowledge into solutions.
Although this Master's is an excellent stepping-stone for students with ambitions in research, most of our graduates work as data consultants and data analysts for commercial companies and governmental organisations.

In this Master's specialisation, the focus is on learning to assess the security of existing ICT solutions, and on how to develop more secure solutions for the future.
This Master’s specialisation will teach you how to contribute in the design of new security systems. You’ll be able to draw up the security requirements of an application and discover where possible weaknesses lie. It covers a broad range of topics that is important for computer security, such as computer science (software, computer networks, and hardware, especially smart-cards and RFID), but also mathematical aspects (cryptography and security protocols), as well as organisational and management issues, legal aspects, and societal issues (in particular privacy).
Over the last decade, Radboud University has made a name for itself in this field both in and outside the country. The Digital Security Group revealed security flaws in the chip-card used for public transport smart cards like the London Oyster and the Dutch OV-chipkaart. Researchers of our group also found security vulnerabilities in commonly used car immobiliser systems.
Currently, we're leading the development of the IRMA card, an ID card that will better protect users' personal data against misuse, and the Networking and Cryptography library (NaCl), a new easy-to-use, high-speed and high-security software library.

This Master's specialisation will focus on understanding the fundamental mathematical concepts of computation and information in order to explore the potentials of computer science.
The theory of computation arose from concerns about the foundations of mathematics, and was developed in the work of Gödel, Church, Turing, Kleene and others. The actual building of computing machinery later was strongly influenced by this theoretical work. Computer science quickly grew into an independent field of study, but the relations with mathematics are still strong. Connections range from the use of mathematics to model the foundations all the way to the use of computers to help solve mathematical problems with a discrete component.
This Master's specialisation has a unique theoretical and abstract focus that unites mathematics and computer science. The programme places itself squarely in this exciting interdisciplinary area of deep theoretical developments. For this reason, the mathematics courses in this curriculum concentrate on algebra, general topology, logic, number theory and combinatorics. The computer science courses concentrate on formal methods, type theory, category theory, coalgebra and theorem proving.
