  1. Master Computer Science Prof. Dr. Peter Sloot Prof. Dr. Marian Bubak

  2. Master in Computer Science • An international research programme that focuses on concurrency, computational science and bioinformatics • 2-year Master of Science – Research Master • This includes a 9-10 months full-time independent master’s research project

  3. Master in Computer Science • Students are actively involved in scientific conferences (e-Science, CPC, NBIC/ISNB, ICCS) • Many of our graduate students have published in scientific journals, and have obtained a PhD position in Amsterdam or elsewhere • Proven career possibilities in industry • e.g. SHELL, IBM, Philips, NLR, CAST • also startup company’s

  4. Some graduation topics • Virtual Reality of By-pass surgery • Inter-Thread Communication in Thread Algebra • Camera-based object tracking for Mixed Reality applications • Intelligent workflow with web services at IBM's research center • Evolutionary computing & multi-objective optimization for aeronautic design • Implementing Cellular Automata in FPGA Logic • Page Ranking in Google • Bloodflow in Stenosis

  5. Immersive Environments

  6. VR-Interaction

  7. Virtual Reality Portal

  8. The UvA and Computer Science • You came to the right place: • The UvA is among the top 20 in CS ranking in the world • The UvA recently received the number 1 mark in the Netherlands • We have the fastest machines, the most spectacular Virtual reality, the world’s hotspots in innovation • There are many top researchers and projects you can collaborate with: VL/e, MultimediaN, e-Science … • Amsterdam is your campus, and the Watergraafsmeer Science Park it’s intellectual residence!

  9. Research master Computational Science research assessment* • research program very good • quality very good • productivity very good • relevance very good • vitality and feasibility very good == 9 out of 10 * Quality Assurance Netherlands Universities (QANU)

  10. Tracks • Program Algebra & Generic Programming • Computer Systems Architecture • Computational Science • Bioinformatics • Free programme

  11. Curriculum Year 1 in Krakow • Introduction to Grid Computing • Advances in Computer Architecture • Distributed Stochastic Simulation • Concurrency Theory • Profile project Grid Computing • Scientific Computing • Concurrent Systems • Computational Finance • Constraint choice of two courses at WSZiB, AGH or Jagiellonian

  12. Curriculum Year 2 in Amsterdam • two specializing courses within your programme: for instance: • Vizualization and Virtual Reality • Complex System Simulation • research and writing your thesis

  13. Advantages of CS at UvA • Work with top researchers • Small classes (5-20 students) • Direct contact with your supervisor • Mentor system • Institutes like SARA, AMS-IX, Nikhef, CWI • Big companies, banks and financial institutions are based in Amsterdam and, of course, the city of Amsterdam itself !

  14. Small classes

  15. Informal atmosphere
