You already know the developments in Information and Communication Technology from the inside. You want to further professionalize your knowledge and skills in this rapidly changing field.
The Computer Science master’s programmes are specialized. They are not about basic knowledge and skills in a broad area. They are about pushing boundaries; to gain (often relatively small) new insights, generally only in a small area. But each change contributes to the strength of the Computer Science field. You have to understand in detail what is going on at the edge of your field. There is a great variety of things that can slow down progress. Physics may seem to work against you, complexity and lack of proper analysis tools may be a hindrance, and of course all sorts of human factors can be a challenge. You have to be aware of methods and techniques that are available to solve the problems you encounter. And sometimes you simply have to get lucky: look at the obstacle that is in your way from the right perspective, and then you realize it is not an obstacle at all. There is a skill to develop here, one of the strong points of the creative expert is that he gets lucky more often than others.
