About the Program

The cooperative/dual Master's program in Information and Communication Technology aims to provide an advanced professional qualification and personal development. It deepens knowledge and competencies typically acquired in a preceding Bachelor's program (e.g., IKB and TIB). The program includes elective modules for targeted skill development and concludes with a Master's thesis, where students independently develop solutions for complex problems in information and communication technology using scientific and engineering methods. Students learn how modern information transmission technologies work and how to implement robust and scalable applications and systems. They develop skills in analysis, programming, and system control. Through independent scientific work, students develop a deep understanding of the connections between theoretical and practical results. The program is delivered in block format with two three-week periods of on-campus instruction per semester, with the remaining time dedicated to self-study supported by e-learning. The third semester is reserved for the Master's thesis, with online support provided.
