Computer Science and Information Technology
M.Sc. & Ph.D
Overview
The Department offers two comprehensive programs of study in Computer Science and Information Technology, namely, M.Sc. and Ph.D. There are two plans of study in the M.Sc. Program that are designed to suit the students’ need, i.e., a thesis option and a master project option. The former is suitable for students who wish to pursue in-depth study in computer science, thereby aiming to continue on doctoral degree. The latter, on the other hand, is a terminal degree which is designed specifically for students who wish to broaden the purview of computer science knowledge, thereby applying toward their career in computer industry.
The M.Sc. Program aims to corroborate the existing Ph.D. Program in Computer Science and Information Technology, which offers state-of-the-art researches in both areas. All research activities are conducted by the Advanced Virtual and Intelligent Computing (AVIC) Research Center, encompassing five research groups, namely,
- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Neural Computing.
- Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Visualization.
- Software and Knowledge Engineering.
- Computer Networking.
- Bioinformatics, Plant Modeling, and Simulation.
Based on the above research spectra, both Programs will expand the horizon of state-of-the-art R&D activities that have already been established by the Ph.D. Program since 1999. Various innovations and technical know-how can then be realized through master theses, master projects, and doctoral dissertation.
Academics
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Chulalongkorn University is at the frontier of interdisciplinary research between Mathematics and Computer Science. The department has conducted a wide range of advanced research activities in close cooperation with Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and National Electronics and Computer technology Center (NECTEC). As a consequence, the M.Sc. program in Computer Science and Information Technology offers an excellent opportunity and environment for individuals who wish to pursue in-depth knowledge and advanced research in computer science and information technology. It is designed to collaborate the existing Ph.D. Program in Computer Science and Information Technology. Various innovations and technical know-how can then be realized through master theses and projects. In addition, academic and industrial collaborations will also be established to further enhance the potential of those innovative implementations for the benefit of the academic and industrial communities. Career advancement will consequently be augmented.
The Ph.D. program offers an excellent opportunity for students who wish to pursue advanced studies in Computer Science and Information Technology, which operates under the AVIC Center. The Center has conducted a wide range of research activities in close cooperation with local and international agencies. It is ideal for international students who are interested in oversea studies and cross cultural learning.
