The goal of this program is to prepare students for the design and development of software for intelligent systems including, e.g. autonomous cars. Students will get up-to-date knowledge in one of the fastest growing and dominant technological trends of the future. The training offers students the opportunity to acquire valuable knowledge and competences in software technology, real-time systems, artificial intelligence, robotics and deep learning, data mining, computer image and signal processing, process control, computer graphics and vision. Electives include GIS systems, autonomous systems security issues and industrial mathematics. Students will be involved in the work of the research labs and can work on real industrial research together with professionals of leading companies interested in autonomous systems and autonomous driving.This program is recommended to applicants who are interested in a career related to self-driving cars, robotics or artificial intelligence.This program enables students to gain new skills in design, implementation, operation and maintenance of software for self-driving vehicles. Students get thorough and up-to-date knowledge in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our courses cover a wide spectrum of topics related specifically to current challenges of autonomous vehicles, and they prepare students for a variety of career options in software development in autonomous systems.Autonomous software systems are becoming widespread in application areas, such as media, finance, customer service, and healthcare. ELTE offers students the opportunity to explore and develop their careers through professional practice at partner companies. We combine the training of students with the research activities at the university, and we invite our best students into R&D&I work of research labs. These long-running, innovative software-engineering projects are carried out in cooperation with industrial partners like Ericsson and Bosch and work together in international teams on real problems of autonomous systems.ELTE endeavours to provide a supportive and enjoyable atmosphere for learning - we provide helpdesk and extensive assistance during studies.

Admission letters are sent out in the online application system until the end of November. Applicants are required to participate in the online entrance exam and a Skype interview held and organized by the Admission Board of ELTE Faculty of Informatics in May (in case of February intake in the beginning of November). Applicants are notified about- time and date/duration of the entrance exam via e-mail one week before the starting date of the exam period by the programme coordinator,- time and date of the Skype interview via e-mail 3 days before the Skype interview by the student coordinator.Applicants can take the entrance exam and the Skype interview only one occassion. In case of communicational difficulties (weak network coverage) the student coordinator attempts to contact the applicant via e-mail and Skype twice within the deadline.In case of lack of participation, posterial requests can not be accepted, appeals are declined after the deadline.The program coordinator notifies all applicants about the outcome of the selection.Type of entrance examination: both Place of entrance examination: onlineFurther details of the Skype interview:The interview takes about 20 minutes in the previously indicated and scheduled time sent by the student coordinator via e-mail.As the language of the education of the Computer Science Master course of ELTE Faculty of Informatics is English, applicants are required to possess at least intermediate level English language proficiency in order to take part efficiently of their academic studies. During the interview applicants are required to prove their English language and communicational skills by replying to questions about their previous studies, work experiences connected to Computer Science. Applicants are also required to answer simple questions concerning basic terms in mathematics and programming.As the prerequisite of applying to Computer Science Master course is a previously obtained Bachelor degree in Computer Science or in a related field, no preparation is needed in advance, applicants are only have to be able to present their previously obtained skills.Further details of the entrance exam:In order to get admission to the Computer Science MSc programme applicants are required to participate and pass the online written entrance exam in Canvas system. Canvas is a learning management system used at Eötvös Loránd University. After accepting the invitation, previously sent by the programme coordinator, applicants are required to create a Canvas account. After logging in, exam exercises are available in Canvas system. There is no exact exam date, applicants are able to take the exam and submit their solutions whenever they want until the indicated deadline.The exam consists of 1-3 programming problems. Solutions (program source codes in Java, C# or C/C++) are required to be submitted online.Further details of selection and evaluation: The ranking is based on a total evaluation of the academic excellence (based on the submitted documents) and the results of the entrance exam.
