Program Description

Computer Science and Engineering Master's program has started in 2000 as a combined program named EECS Master's program. A few years later, computer science and engineering became an independent graduate program. The courses proposed encompass broad range of topics that reflect research areas of the faculty members, such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Visualization, Data Science and Data Analytics, Security, Privacy and Cryptography, Software Engineering to name some. The graduate courses cover both theoretical and also practical aspects of the topics covered. The students are expected to complete a research-oriented thesis. The language of education is English.

 

Program Objectives
