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.
Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?
- This specialisation builds on the strong international reputation of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) in areas such as model based and virtual product development, advanced programming, and domain specific languages. We also closely collaborate with the Embedded Systems Institute.
- Our approach is pragmatic as well as theoretical. As an academic, we don't just expect you to understand and make use of the appropriate tools, but also to program and develop your own.
- For your Master's research we have a large number of companies like Philips, ASML and NXP offering projects. There are always more projects than students.
- Thanks to free electives students can branch out to other Computing Science domains at Radboud University such as security, machine learning or more in-depth mathematical foundations of computer science.
- The job opportunities are excellent: some of our students get offered jobs before they've even graduated and almost all of our graduates have positions within six months after graduating.

objectives
Writing good software is a highly creative process, which requires the ability to approach problems in entirely novel ways through computational thinking. Besides creativity, a professional software scientist also has fine problem-solving, analytical, programming, and communication skills. By combining software programming, model-checking techniques and human intellect, software scientists can make a real difference to help and improve the devices that govern such a large part of our lives.study abroad
You can choose to perform your elective courses or internship(s) abroad. There are for example close contacts with the Max Planck Institute in Germany. For other possibilities, you can always contact a lecturer or the student advisor.Toelating en kosten
