MSE Study at the Institute of applied Information Technology (InIT) | ZHAW Institute of Applied Information Technology InIT

The Institute of applied Information Technology (InIT) offers more than 30 master study places in the MSE (Master of Science in Engineering). Students can study in one of the two MSE profiles Computer Science and Data Science in all of the five specializations.

Two thirds of your MSE study will take place at our institute. Here you will work on our research and development projects in your specialization area in collaboration with industrial partners. Furthermore, you can participate in the specialized supplementary modules offered by our institute below. You can study the MSE fulltime or part-time. For part-time students we offer the possibility to work at our institute as research assistants.

Individual specialization is possible in all five research groups of InIT:
