Computer Science – Logic and Computation Track

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Students on the master's degree programme in Computer Science can choose to concentrate on theoretical computer science and the foundations of artificial intelligence as part of the double degree track. The programme is offered in cooperation with TU Wien. In the study track, students explore both practical and theoretical aspects of current computing methods and technologies. In Hannover, students focus on theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models and data science. At the partner university in Vienna, students focus not only on algorithm analysis and machine learning, but also on optimisation and inference methods for knowledge processing, answer set programming and truth maintenance systems. The double degree track is an integrated degree programme as an optional part of the master's degree programme in Computer Science. On successful completion of the programme, students receive two separate degree certificates: a "Diplomingenieur/in" (Dipl.-Ing.) degree in "Logic and Computation" from TU Wien and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in "Computer Science" from Leibniz University Hannover. After completion of the first semester's study plan at LUH, students continue their studies at TU Wien, spending either their second and third or their third and fourth semester at the partner institution. Students must attain a minimum of 50 ECTS at the host institution.
