About the Program

Computer science is a rapidly developing science that is characterized by complex problems and high demands on the design, security, efficiency and usability of digital information and communication systems. Specialists in software and hardware development, IT consulting and AI systems are in demand in many industries. The Master's degree program imparts in-depth knowledge, concepts and methods of computer science. Building on the foundations of the Bachelor's degree, Master's graduates on the four-semester course encounter a clear specialization with a clear focus on research. They are enabled to solve problems from various application areas of computer science independently and on their own responsibility, taking into account social, economic and technical conditions. The majority of the course is characterized by the choice of a specialization. Currently offered are: Computational Intelligence and Data Analytics, Software Development, Computer Science for the Digital Society, Environment and Energy Informatics. The course content reflects the current state of research in the respective fields. Through increased scientific work, students are also prepared for a possible doctorate in computer science or a related subject.
