The goal of this program is to train Computer Scientist with a professional knowledge based on a solid theoretical background knowledge. They have the skills to take part in program development, in developing information systems and system management in various areas. The Computer Scientist often acts as a mediator between the customers of information systems and the producers. In this way, the job of a Computer Scientist synthesizes the constructive activity of engineers with the general problem-solving attitude of mathematicians while participating in teams of large-scale projects.Our programs provide students with a broad education in Computer Science in combination with specialized work in programming languages, cyber security, data science, web engineering, autonomous systems, multimedia design etc.Students learn the theory as well as the methodologies and techniques in the development and implementation of computer systems. The more practical programming courses are aided by several courses in pure and applied mathematics and theoretical computer science courses throughout the curriculum.This program is recommended to applicants whowant to partake in innovative and well grounded education for the next generation of service designers and software architects capable of designing and engineering novel software system.want to conduct analyses to detect, discover and better understand the abounding data around us generated by social media, manufacturing systems, medical devices, logistic services, and countless others on a daily basis.want to be a responsible cybersecurity specialists with the right knowledge and skills to be able to contribute to make the digital world a safer place.This program enables students towork in teams to guide the software development process (modern and agile software engineering methodologies integrated with design thinking and User Centric/Service Design methods) of complex information systems.gain in-depth technical skills in scalable data collection techniques and data analysis methods. They learn how to use and develop a suite of tools and technologies that address data capture, processing, storage, transfer, analysis, visualisation, and related concepts (e.g., data access, data pricing, and data privacy).be valuable in open innovation settings where different aspects (market, users, social aspects, media technologies) come together, through their multidisciplinary attitude.

In case of September intake: The applications are examined by the Admission Board until the end of May, applicants are notified of the outcome of the selection in the online application system until the middle of June.Admission letters are sent out in the online application system until 30 June.In case of February intake: The applications are examined by the Admission Board and are notified of the outcome of the selection in the online application system until the middle of November. 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.
