The objective of the master’s programme is to initiate students into solving problems by producing efficient algorithms in different kinds of practical areas of application. Master’s programmes in Algorithmics and Software Development have certain interests in common. Students in the Master’s Programme in Algorithmics must acquire good programming skills. In addition, students need more theoretical skills which are acquired by taking mathematics as a minor subject and by passing the advanced courses in the master’s programme in Algorithmics.

Requirements for the lower academic degree.
If a student does not meet these requirements, the equivalent studies must be taken as supplementary studies.
0.1 A lower academic or a corresponding degree in the field of computer sciences or in a closely related field.
0.2 Previous studies must include or students must extend them to include as part of block 2 “Other studies in M.Sc. programme”:
• the course unit TKOPA215 Data Structures
• a total 90 ECTS credits of computer science
• 40 ECTS credits of mathematical studies (mathematics/statistics)
