The goal of the Computer Science Msc program is to train Computer Scientist with a professional knowledge based on a solid theoretical background knowledge. 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. Students of the Foundation Year learn the methodologies as well as the programming languages and tools used in software development.This program is recommended to applicants whowant to partake in a well-grounded education that provides a sound base of a successful academic career in Computer Sciencewant to understand the basic programming notions better or gain more experience in programminghave not studied the correct subjects, or not quite achieved the qualifications required for a Master courseobtained grades/qualifications during their Bachelor’s studies that are below the requirements for direct entry to the Computer Science Msc programneed support in their transition into university life and being an international Master student at ELTE, Faculty of Informaticswish to return to education after a long time they completed Bachelor’s studiesThis program enables students togain in-depth technical skills in programmingbenefit from some improvement in their programming knowledgeprogress onto a broad education of Computer Science specialized in programming languages, cyber security, data science, web engineering, autonomous systems, multimedia design etcchoose a Master degree course in Computer Science by obtaining the sufficient background

During the interview applicants are required to prove their English language and communicational skills by replying to questions about their previous studies.As the prerequisite of applying to the Foundation Year of Computer Science Master course is a previously obtained Bachelor degree, 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 Foundation Year of Computer Science MSc programme, applicants are required to participate in 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 (some quizzes and surveys regarding previous studies and the interest of the applicant) are available in Canvas system. There is no exact exam date, applicants are able to take the exam whenever they want until the indicated deadline.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.
