Computer and Information Science

Study programme objective A Master's degree in Computer and Information Science provides students with the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of computer or information science, especially but not exclusively with regard to topics pertaining to the exploration of large volumes of data (data science), visualisation (visual computing), and human-computer interaction (HCI). Graduates will be able to apply and further develop practical methods of computer and information science across different sectors. Graduates with this profile will find jobs in all areas and sectors of national and international organisations and companies. Joint research focus and fields of specialisation The Master's programme takes on the research of our research groups , especially in the mentioned area of exploratory analysis and visualisation of large information spaces . This kind of departmental and interdisciplinary joint research is unique in Germany and highly acknowledged internationally. The Master's programme has a strong research orientation and an emphasis towards research-driven teaching. Furthermore, it provides exciting opportunities for specialisation : Data Science Interactive Systems Software and Systems Visual Computing Algorithmics Mentoring programme Master's students are guided and mentored by a university professor during the Master's programme. A mentor will help students to structure their studies and will be chosen according to the field of specialisation at the beginning of the study programme.
