The data engineering programme covers a range of topics in the field. Today’s software systems manage large amounts of traditional and non-traditional data including temporal, spatial, spatio-temporal, and multidimensional data.
The programme focuses on technologies for managing this kind of data covering conceptual modelling and database design, data models, query languages, query processing and optimization, and indexing. The programme features traditional courses as well as projects that typically involve construction and experimentation with software prototypes.
Entrepreneurial values
While the programme provides strong theoretical foundations, it also emphasizes entrepreneurial values, enabling students to become highly valued staff at their future employer, both in industry and academia.
The programme is managed by the Center for Data-Intensive Systems, Daisy at the Department of Computer Science. Daisy is one of the world’s leading research groups within spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal data management and business intelligence (data warehousing and data mining). Student projects are usually directly related to the current cutting-edge research conducted at Daisy. In addition, projects are done in collaboration with local and national industry.

Although each application is assessed individually, the following are minimal requirements for admission:
1. A solid computer science background that includes courses on:
1. Theory of Computation (Automata Theory, Computability, Turing Machines)
2. Computer Systems (Processors, Memories etc.)
3. Algorithms and Data Structures (Lists, Trees, Graphs, sorting, searching, complexity)
4. Object Oriented Analysis and Dsign (UML etc.)
5. Object Oriented Programming (Java or C++)
6. Programming Languages and Semantics
7. Compiling Techniques
8. Operating Systems
9. Concurrent Programming
10. Networks
2. In addition, we require undergraduate mathematics as found in science or engineering degrees.
3. Some programming and design experience.
4. A decent grade, e.g. First Class – we would like to think that you are at least in the top 25% of your class.
It is a great help, if your application explains, why you satisfy these requirements.
