WHY STUDY COMPUTER SCIENCE?

IT is an extremely dynamic sector with a relatively high rate of job offers with very good salaries. The evolution of the employment in this sector is heading towards high qualification positions (master level at least). This is even more true for countries whose economies are comparable to those of Luxembourg, France, Belgium or Germany. The computer systems of the future require highly skilled engineers who are able to invent, design, develop quality products.

STRENGTHS

• Excellence: programme designed from the international ACM / IEEE CS 2013 standard
• Project oriented: pedagogy based on acquisition by practice through research and development projects
• Scientific quality: develop interest and strengths in science and technology for the future
• Multilingual: students follow a multilingual training allowing them to practice and apply two languages in the frame of their IT projects. English is the main language and a second language can be chosen between French and German. This language approach has the purpose to ensure that the student has a real effective capacity to work in a multilingual environment, as it exists, among others, in Luxembourg.
