Problem

I really cannot understand the key-differences between those fields of study. Can please someone explain it in detail? If one graduates from a Master program of Computer Science, how does he differ from the one graduated from a Software Engineering program, or one from IT?

Solution

As D.W. wrote this is somewhat subjective since there is no standard definitions for those fields of study.
Regarding your last question, my experience in a couple of European universities is that "Computer Science" is a more theoretical program, often branched from a math faculty while "Software Engineering" is more practical, often part of the Engineering faculty.
