Bright minds in a digital world
Department of Information and Computing Sciences

The digital world is ever expanding. Digital technologies permeate every mundane aspect of our society, from phones to cars, from the internet to washing machines. Within the department of Information and Computing Sciences, we develop novel methods for incorporating information technologies in our daily lives. Sometimes these innovations are highly visible, often they are nearly invisible to the user.

We focus on socially relevant and fundamental subjects. By applying innovative thinking and a strong fundamental knowledge, we work on practical solutions and approaches within four themes:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Interaction Technology
  • Software Systems
  • Virtual Worlds

We seek out the boundaries of science, and educate students to become well equipped, enthusiastic professionals.

Our research is internationally well respected. We continuously push the frontiers of knowledge and capabilities both in science and application. By developing novel concepts, theories, algorithms, and software we help directing innovation in society.

Research
Research and education focused on quality; both now and in the future.
Bachelor's and Master's Programmes

Our education is valued by teachers and students alike. First we focus on providing a broad but solid foundation. Next we build on this to help students develop in-depth knowledge and skills. Students have the opportunity for further specialization in a field that especially interests them.
