Today, computer science is an enormously vibrant field, including topics such as programming languages, algorithms and complexity, data structures, intelligent systems, distributed systems, and network technologies. During its fifty years of existence, computer science has become a defining technology of our age. Computers are integral to many parts of our society and, moreover, the field continues to evolve at an astonishing pace. New technologies are introduced continually, and existing ones become obsolete.Our master program in Computer Science offers a number of advanced courses, e.g., with emphasis on information security, information systems, and intelligent systems. The courses focus on aspects close to the research front in computer science. The master program ends with a master thesis, which usually is based on current research and scientific articles. After obtaining your master degree you are well prepared for a work in industry as well as a research career at the university.

Prediction, description and assessment of characteristics of structures and components in machine design are becoming increasingly important to support decision making in product development. Being able to making well-informed decisions at an early stage of the product development process as well as finally finding an optimal design is critical to competitiveness.The purpose of this programme is to prepare for participation in advanced product development or research in mechanical engineering. The goal is that the graduates will master a coordinated approach to analysis support for product development, including virtual and physical modelling, simulation/experimentation, and optimisation, see below. They should also be able to keep up with and contribute to new research findings and communicate scientific data and relationships ? orally and in writing ? using modern animation and visualisation equipment.

Many products today contain software, even in areas and applications where it is not visible at a first glance. Even domains that have historically been hardware domains are now shifting towards software-intensive products. There is thus an increasing need for professional software engineers. A professional software engineer is able to develop software according to a certain specification, with a specific quality, on time, and on budget.This need is recognised by the Master?s Program in Software Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology, one of the oldest and well renown master?s educations in software engineering in Sweden. Accordingly, we focus our education on teaching professionalism and realism. Professionalism means that we teach an engineering approach to difficult subjects such as project management, quality management, requirements engineering, and verification and validation, but also in more technically oriented courses such as systems engineering, software architectures, and software product lines. Realism means that we train our students for a reality dealing with large scale market-driven software development, where things are not always done by the book.We put high demands on our students, and expect of them to be able to relate their own experiences to state-of-the-art research and literature, as well as current industry practice. We mix lectures where students are expected to be active with seminars, assignments, industry case studies, and a critical review of each others work. The teaching staff consists of active researchers and industry practitioners, which ensures the goals of professionalism and realism, but also that of relevance.

The aim of this programme is for each Master?s graduate to: Have a thorough understanding of an intellectually strict, widely applicable framework for sustainable development (known in the business community as ?The Natural Step Framework?), Be able to apply the framework, in a range of situations, for an analysis of problems as well as creation of solutions, Be able to select, design and apply a range of complimentary and cohesive tools and concepts as part of a strategic approach to sustainability, Be able to demonstrate an in-depth, sophisticated application of the framework (as part of a group thesis); and To develop enhanced leadership capabilities and the ability to inform and empower through an improved awareness of organisational and personal learning as well as improved presentation, facilitation and coaching skills.

History of Philosophy provides us with an understanding of the origin and development of scientific thought. The history of ancient and medieval philosophy of language and mind is largely understood to include ancient and medieval logic and semantics, theories of communication and argumentation, theories of knowledge, cognitive psychology, theories of mind, as well as their metaphysical foundations.

In addition to philosophical competence and a high level of methodological and historical sensitivity, linguistic skills in Greek and Latin and related auxiliary sciences such as paleography, codicology and textual criticism are essential tools for any student or researcher who wants to access the most influential texts in the development of Western thought directly and independently. Hence, as a scientific discipline, Ancient and Medieval Philosophy requires a set of essential skills that are becoming increasingly rare even on a global scale.

Ancient and Medieval Philosophy and Classical Philology: Master’s Programme offers students the possibility to acquire these skills and to do so in a leading research environment. The programme has originated as a direct result of a major interdisciplinary research programme (see http://representationandreality.gu.se/) and is offered in close interaction with the research group and its international network of leading scholars and partner institutions.

Do you want to change the world? Do you want to challenge social and cultural norms about gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class, functionality? Are you interested in working with issues of gender and equality in your everyday practice? Then Gendering Practices is the master’s programme for you. Making you familiar with theories of power relations and equality work, this programme will help you develop a reflexive approach to your practical work, and provide you with methodological insights into the field of Gender Studies and research.

Gendering Practices will prepare you for an international labour market that requires advanced knowledges about – and critical perspectives on – power relations, equality work, and social and cultural norms. Drawing on the strength of the interdisciplinary field of Gender Studies, the programme is a co-operation between Gender Studies and scholars and teachers working with gender and feminist theory in other departments at the University of Gothenburg. The programme offers four different strands of study, developed to prepare the students for different parts of the labour market: Equality Politics, Organisation, and Law; Cultural Theories and Practices; Cultural Heritage; Body Politics, and Social Health. It also prepares students for doctoral studies in Gender Studies, Social Medicine, Global Studies, History, Comparative Literature, History of Science and Ideas, Art History and Visual Studies, Ethnology, Film Studies, and Musicology, depending on what courses the student takes. Read an interview with one of our students, Majdouline Lyazidi.

The programme is structured around the conviction that gendering practices is an interdisciplinary field, and that theory and practice are intertwined. The programme, as a whole, focuses on the complexity of “gendering practices” and the development of a meta-theoretical perspective on knowledge production. The overall objective of the curriculum is to build a platform for interdisciplinary encounters between different academic disciplines, generating new ways of understanding and working with gendered practices. Hence an emphasis has been put on an integration of core courses and courses specific for the different strands.

The first semester consists of two core courses: Theoretical Perspectives in Gender Studies and Methodologies in Gender Studies.

During the second semester the students chose one of the four strands of the programme, and take one core course in the chosen strand and one elective course within the program. It is also possible to take an additional course within respective strand.

The first part of the third semester consist of 8 weeks (15 hec) internship. The internship could be performed in a workplace, in an organisation as well as in a research project.  The latter part of the semester is reserved for the core course Interdisciplinary Challenges in Gender Studies.

During the fourth semester all students complete a Master’s thesis.

Students with a Bachelor’s degree in Gender Studies, or a Bachelor’s thesis with a gender perspective written within another discipline, are eligible to apply for this programme. The programme co-ordinator for Gendering Practices is responsible for individual evaluations of Bachelor’s theses from disciplines other than Gender Studies, to secure the level of each applicant’s knowledge in the field of gender and feminist theory.

N.B. If you do not have a degree in Gender Studies you have to supplement the programme co-ordinator with your Bachelor's thesis, via the programme webpage.
