Internet Science & Technology
This program is a specialization of Master in Computer Science.
INTERNET SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Do you want to set to work as a cyber-architect helping self-driving cars and traffic systems to communicate safely and effectively? Or as an Internet security specialist, devising ways of detecting botnets before they cause damage? Or do see yourself building a 'Trusted Internet' system that stays up and running under the heaviest cyber-attacks?
Our Master's programme Internet Science & Technology will equip you to become a creative expert at understanding, maintaining, securing and developing communication systems and cyber-physical systems. Think, for example, of 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi or other wireless networks, the 'cloud', Internet of Things (IoT) systems or ad-hoc networks – such as the constantly changing networks between autonomous vehicles or an emergency network in a disaster area.
STUDYING AT THE FRONTLINE OF TECHNOLOGY
Among the most important technological breakthroughs in the near future will be those involving the connection of networks and systems. Throughout this Master's programme you will learn how to build, maintain, secure and improve these interactive intelligent systems in a creative, technically responsible way.
A MASTER'S PROGRAMME LIKE NO OTHER
The Master's programme Internet Science & Technology at the University of Twente is one of very few specialized programmes in the field of communication systems – and the only one of its kind in The Netherlands. With this degree you will join a very select group of specialists worldwide equipped to build, maintain, protect and improve the architecture of interactive systems. In addition to that, you will also have plenty of room for your personal interests and preferences. You can deepen your understanding of certain sub-areas, work on your own entrepreneurial skills or, for example, cross over into the social sciences or a social theme, such as energy, mobility or healthcare.
RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE WORLD’S BEST
In the field of communication systems, the University of Twente – like the Netherlands – features among the world’s very best. We are one of the leading players in the field of Internet security research and education (think of DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service attacks). Our research institute CTIT specializes in researching Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in a societal context – a great platform for our distinct cross-disciplinary.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
- IELTS – 6.5
- TOEFL – 90
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or an equivalent qualifications
Knowledge of the following topics: at least 40 ECTS credits in Computer Science (containing: object oriented programming, computer organisation/architecture, operating systems, computer networks)
At least 5 EC in Computer Networks
At least 20 EC’s in Mathematics and Statistics (containing: Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, Probability, etc.)
At least 15 EC’s in Research Projects

With a Master's degree in Internet Science & Technology you will be part of a small group of globally leading specialists in the field of communication systems. You will be equipped to be a reliable guide as we enter the very unpredictable future of the Internet and other networks. And you will be uniquely trained to secure, maintain and improve such networks.
Most of our graduates get a good job within months of graduating. With this degree you can work with application-orientated companies for whom network technology is crucial. Think, for example, of car-to-car communication in the automotive industry or intelligent manufacturing systems for industrial companies and supply chains. You can also contribute to large IT companies, such as Google or Facebook, or companies offering devices, software and services for Internet of Things solutions. Some graduates choose to make a splash at a large high-tech company or network enterprise, such as KPN, Vodafone or Ericsson, or with the police's high-tech crime-fighting. You can be a researcher or manage large networks, for SURFnet, Eduroam or ING, for example. With your expertise in communication systems, your unique knowledge of specialized fields like cloud computing, Internet security or DNS technology (Domain Name System) and a degree from one of the leading universities in your field, doors will swing open for you all over the world.
