Department of Informatics

Studying computer science provides a scientific and engineering approach to the theoretical and practical aspects of computer systems. Computer science is a relatively new discipline; its rapid growth since the 1970s includes exciting developments such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and the internet.

Studying Computer Science within the Department of Informatics gives you the capability to understand, create, and use computer and information systems technology to solve theoretical and practical problems, with an emphasis on practical skills in software engineering, programming and the design of software and algorithms. Practical and theoretical exercises are important for most of our programmes, and are done during your own time as well as in supervised labs, tutorials or problem classes.
