Postgraduate major in English：Computer Science and Technology

（Discipline Code: 0812）

Brief Introductionto Discipline

The Computer Science and Technology discipline of Southeast University, originated from the major of Solution Technology and Installation established in 1960, has a national first-level discipline doctoral program, post-doctoral mobile station and distinguished professor position of Ministry of Education of China. It is also a superior and key discipline of JiangsuProvince,in which “computer application technology” is a national key discipline. In September 2017, the “Computer Science and Technology” discipline was selected as the “Double-Class” National Key Construction Discipline. At the end of the same year, the “Computer Science” entered the top 1‰ rank of the ESI discipline in the world, and the latest ranking in July 2019 was the 16th in the world ( 2^ndplace in mainland China universities). This discipline has some scientific research bases,such as the Key Laboratory of Computer Network and Information Integration of the Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory of Computer Network Technology of Jiangsu Province, the Key Laboratory of Network and Information Security of Jiangsu Province, the Sino-French Biomedical Information Research Center, the East (North) China Regional Center of China Education and Research Network, and so on. After nearly 60 years of construction, a situation has been formed, where computer network technology and its application is featured and the entire discipline is coordinated developing rapidly. It ranks among the top in the field in terms of discipline status, scientific research, teaching quality and talent training.

Cultivation Objectives

Through the study of master’s stage, students will basically master Chinese and deeply understand Chinese culture. And then,students will have a solid theoretical foundation and systematic professional knowledge, and can independently carry out scientific research and solve technical problems, with a good spirit of cooperation, strong communication skills, critical thinking, innovative thinking and international vision.Students will be competent in scientific research and system development in computer science and technology, and promote international academic exchanges and talent training.

Research Directions

Future network and network security, cloud computing and big data, computer system architecture, artificial intelligence and its applications, complex network and social computing, image processing and scientific visualization
