Computer Science

With our Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Computer Science and the Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) and Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS) included in it, we offer a generalist additional and/or secondary degree for people who work in or are seeking to enter the challenging fields of software development, the operation of IT systems, IT project management, IT systems/product consultancy or sales.

Since many subject areas in the field of Computer Science develop and change very rapidly, we place a high priority on teaching conceptual knowledge in our courses, which will enable you to work on the front lines of IT development both today and in the future and also adapt quickly to new methods and technologies.

We also offer suitable continuing education courses for those who wish to specialise in individual specific subsectors of Computer Science.

Data Science

It has now become virtually impossible to imagine daily life without data science. According to the “Harvard Business Review”, the pro-fession of data scientist is the “sexiest job” of the 21st century. As a result, there is an extremely high demand in the business world for data scientists and/or specialists in the field of big data.

The ZHAW School of Engineering was one of the first universities of applied sciences to offer courses in Data Science. The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Data Science offers the tools you need to deal with complex issues at the intersection between data, IT and business, demonstrate new solution approaches and develop them alone or in a team. The “DAS Data Science” programme has a mod-ular design and is composed of three Certificates of Advanced Stud-ies (CAS).
