Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
Do you find satellites, collaborating robots, safety-critical networks between cars and fighting cyber terrorism interesting? Do you want to master advanced technology and obtain a strong technical competence profile, while also learning about team work? And would you like to combine theory with practice? Then you should consider the Master in Networks and Distributed Systems (NDS).
NDS is a master in engineering, with several specialized courses in computer networks, network modeling and performance analysis methods, network planning and management, fault-tolerance and reliability study in the field of distributed systems.
The courses give you a broad foundation within subjects such as:
In the projects, you are working in-depth with problems of your own choice, often in close cooperation with researchers and/or industrial partners.
You will get familiar with project-based learning, and in addition to the technical content, you will also learn about project management and planning. Moreover, we focus on systems design, where you will design a distributed system to solve a real existing problem. Part of the system will also be implemented and tested.
Students with a relevant bachelor degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering or similar.
