In addition to excellent educational
premises and a large library, the cam-
pus has restaurants, cafeterias, a book
shop, a cinema, and several clubs.
Don’t be satisfied with anything less; add weight to your computing and IT qualifications with a
Master’s degree at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers. The depart-
ment is alive with research activity, characterised by its high quality and breadth of scope. Our
research ranges from software to hardware, with a vibrant interplay between theory and practice, and
interactions with many branches of science and engineering. When it comes to technology we’re right
there at the cutting edge. You’ll be making a wise choice – the programmes and qualifications are
highly respected, and it’s a beautiful place in which to study.

Not only do we attract students from all over the world, but we also export
knowledge to a number of foreign partners such as universities in North America,
Europe and Japan. Many of our international alumni move on to study for a PhD
after graduating from Chalmers – either here or at other universities around the
world. Engineering is a global language and we have a long tradition of working
as a part of the international scientific community.
