Information Engineering and Computer Science, MSc

Why choose Information Engineering and Computer Science? Mainstream terms like "Information Society" or "Information Era" illustrate quite clearly that information is one of the most valuable goods in today's economy. In times of global networking and dynamically changing economic and working environments, success increasingly depends on effective information and knowledge management. Efficient information processing or good information logistics is essential when data have to be acquired and information has to be delivered in the right format, at the right place, at the right time and to the right people. At the same time, data acquisition, validation, presentation, and security have to adhere to very high standards. A dynamic environment like this needs individuals with a broad range of skills and knowledge who are able to understand and realise the requirements of information management, from design and development up to the implementation of suitable IT solutions. Our unique Master's degree programme has been designed to meet those needs. It provides a deep insight into the acquisition, processing, and handling of data while giving you the chance to exploit the power of distributed network and computing units. At the same time, you will be able to acquire the knowledge needed to analyse and process large amounts of data. To cover all these different aspects and to give you the chance to specialise in a field that fits your interests and career plans, the programme offers four different tracks from which to choose: Computer Science Environmental Engineering Logistics Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Artificial Intelligence Career prospects Our degree programme aims to equip you for a career that matches future labour market needs and trends by putting a special emphasis on innovative problem solving methods while considering interdisciplinary and international approaches. Complementing the individual skills you have gained in your Bachelor's degree, our Master's degree will strengthen your employability and will make you an ideal candidate for all international companies and research institutes operating in the fields of: information and data management Artificial Intelligence development and operation of large web-based and cloud-like storage and computing facilities simulation of complex systems (e.g. modelling the environment) development of decision support systems hardware and software development for automation and control of logistic systems hardware and software development of embedded systems (e.g. used by companies situated in the automobile or medical equipment industry)
