A Master’s in Computer Science & IT is a postgraduate degree for applicants who already have a first degree and want advanced study. It suits people aiming for deeper technical training, a research path, or a move into more specialised roles.

The options are all public institutions, and one of them is in Zurich while the others do not have a city named in the facts provided. Only one tuition figure is published: CHF 1,500 minimum at the University of Zurich. For the other universities, the fee is not given, so applicants should confirm the cost directly before applying.

Before applying, verify the exact programme title, entry requirements, tuition, and teaching language for each university. Also confirm the campus location, because only one city is specified, and check whether the Master’s you want is actually offered by the institution you plan to choose.
