Computer Science and Informatics
CSI – a Collaborative Academic Environment
Computers and information systems (IT) are today an integral part of all aspects of life. They are used to increase productivity in industry and healthcare, to enhance pedagogy and to provide business intelligence. We also use IT for home automation, social networking, media consumption, transportation and just about anything. Software is embedded everywhere, and the products around us are becoming increasingly interconnected. The challenges we computer scientists face are sometimes interdisciplinary, but due to the integral nature of the systems, more often multidisciplinary.
The education and research at our department is scientifically anchored in Computer Science and Informatics, but we do acknowledge and cultivate the applied and multidisciplinary dimension. We therefore encourage collaboration with industry, public sector, and other academic disciplines. These partnerships enable us as an internationally connected and globally oriented department to stay relevant in our region and to continuously contribute to both science and practice.
We deliver capable students
Our degree programmes equip our students with both knowledge and skills for contemporary and future challenges in industry and the public sector, as well as for a future academic career. In our programmes, we collaborate closely and co-produce with strategic external partners. Platforms for collaboration include research projects, thesis projects, internships, guest lecturers, industry advisory boards and via internationalisation for all our programmes.
We offer the following degree programmes
Bachelor programmes
- New Media Design
- Networking, Infrastructure and Cyber Security

(google translated, Swedish original) - Software Development and Mobile Platforms
(google translated, Swedish original)
Master programme
We participate in two collaborative research schools
- Smart Industry Sweden, National Industrial PhD School
- Digital Retailing (iNSiDR), Industrial PhD School
We do research that matters
We carry out theoretical and practical research in several areas of Computer Science and Informatics. Part of our research is executed in collaboration and in co-production with external partners. The research at JTH is mainly conducted in the research environment SPARK where we have an active role.
Part of our research is carried out by the Human-Centered Technology Opens in new window. group, that hosts the HCI Lab.
