About CSE

• The CSE degree offers three tracks with a broad and comprehensive set of courses, providing guidance for the directions in which to specialize: Algorithms and Theory, Architecture and Systems, and Software and Analytics.
• You complete a degree in the heart of the fast-growing, high-tech Brainport region.
• After you graduate, you will be able to design quality solutions that are trustworthy, reliable, and secure. Computer Science and Engineering teaches you how to combine a scientific perspective with the approach of an engineer.
• To us, flexibility is a spearpoint. This is why CSE students find ample opportunity to shape the program and specialize in line with their own interests, allowing them to grow into all-round professionals or academics.
• Next to the technical components, the program has a strong focus on the social aspects of software engineering and encourages you to adopt a systematic and impact-based approach in your studies.

Do you have a passion for computing? We thought as much!

A master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering is your springboard to an exciting career. CSE is developed to teach you how to design and analyze algorithms, software, and systems. The degree offers a systematic approach that also covers the social aspects of software engineering.

You will learn to combine an academic, scientific attitude with the approach of an engineer, teaching you how to achieve high-quality results. The degree is strongly rooted in computer science and covers data science, mathematics, electrical engineering, and social sciences, depending on the electives that you choose. 

Computer engineers build and maintain the systems today's society cannot do without, meaning they have a concrete impact. Opting for a master's degree in CSE at TU/e also means that you'll be submerging yourself in one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe: the Brainport area is an ecosystem in which knowledge-intensive manufacturing and various industries meet. In Eindhoven, your computer engineering skills find the fast track.

CSE is a broad master's program that allows you to specialize in the subjects that interest you. All aspects of the master include elements of choice, meaning there is a lot of freedom to shape the program to your needs. Having so much freedom is not overwhelming; the three focus areas guide you in choosing your courses and finding what suits you. There is a great variety of courses, both fundamental and hands-on. The fundamental courses truly take you to the current state of research in a field. The hands-on courses teach you how to use Computer Science in practice, which is essential for your career.
