In an era where computational power drives scientific discovery, technological innovation, and industrial progress, mastering High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Advanced Computing is essential. Our Master’s Program in Advanced Computing equips students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience to tackle the most demanding computational challenges across various domains, including artificial intelligence, big data, engineering simulations, and scientific research.
Why Choose This Program?
- Comprehensive Curriculum – Gain expertise in HPC systems management, parallel computing, cloud computing, machine learning, and numerical modeling.
- Hands-on Experience – Work with state-of-the-art HPC clusters and industry-standard tools.
- Expert Faculty & Industry Collaboration – Learn from leading researchers and professionals in the field.
- Career Opportunities – Prepare for roles in academia, research institutions, and industries like finance, healthcare, and engineering.
The master’s programme in Advanced Computing is designed for students with relevant academic training and/or professional experience in computer science, science and engineering and whose career goal is to apply computational methods to solve scientific and engineering problems.
The main aim of the course is to enable students to solve complex science and engineering problems using advanced computing techniques, while being aware of their fundamentals and of the underlying infrastructure supporting them. During the course, students will have the opportunity to develop analytical and critical thinking skills about science and engineering problems and deepen their knowledge of computing, which will be used to solve problems in various scientific areas that use modelling and simulation of complex scientific phenomena to understand and predict the behaviour of physical or natural systems.
The skills developed throughout the course will be especially valued in multidisciplinary research and development teams where the computing skills do not have a holistic view of the entire computing system. This will undoubtedly be an added value for students in the master’s programme in advanced computing and will differentiate them in the market.
