MASTER OF SCIENCE:

COMPUTER SCIENCE
for NETWORKS (CSN)

Want to understand, analyze and improve your communication network?

Want to develop and define software on top of next-generation networks?

This M.Sc. in Computer Science for Networks (CSN) helps students acquire advanced
techniques and specialized tools with deep studies to computer science and complex
networks. The master CSN combines recent approaches based on advanced software
engineering towards networks.
This program focuses on rigorous coursework, technical training, specialized research, and
expert faculty mentorship.
The MSc CSN emphasizes research preparation and experience being a chance to lay the
groundwork for pursuing a PhD, as well as leading to research engineer positions in
academic or industrial organizations.
