Department of Computer and Information Science

IDA - The Department of Computer and Information Science

Research at IDA covers a broad spectrum of topics from core computer science to applications, including theoretical computer science, programming environments, software engineering, real-time and embedded systems, artificial intelligence, information security, databases, information systems, computational linguistics, cognitive science, interaction and service design, autonomous systems and statistics.

Our broad research base directly enriches our undergraduate and graduate education. We give courses within six engineering degree programmes and five Master programmes, as well as the computer science, cognitive science, statistics, data analysis and teacher training programmes.

The Department of Computer and Information Science was founded in 1983, but the roots go back to the early seventies. It is one of the largest departments for computer and information science in northern Europe, with 195 employees of which 63 are faculty members (PhDs), including 23 full professors. Approximately 80 postgraduate students are enrolled in the department's PhD programmes, including 48 doctoral students holding salaried positions.
