Master of Science in Computer Science
University of Kiel
Program Overview
Kiel University offers a Master's degree programme in Computer Science. Lectures are held in German as well as in English. We take care to offer programmes which can be studied with proof of knowledge in one of these languages. Our Master's programme is designed to give you high flexibility, so if you are interested in a specific module, you should contact the student adviser or the research adviser. As we do not expect you to choose the research adviser for your thesis right at the beginning of your Master's studies, it is possible to modify the programme even after you have started your Master's studies. However, it is recommended that you choose your research adviser by the beginning of the final year of your Master's studies.

REQRequirements
Requirements
Academic Admission
Admission to our Master's programme is only possible with a Bachelor's degree in computer science that is comparable to the Bachelor's degree in computer science awarded by our department. The Bachelor's and Master's studies in Kiel are research-oriented. Therefore, Bachelor's degrees achieved outside of Kiel often lack fundamental concepts in theoretical and practical topics, such as advanced programming (beyond object-oriented concepts), mathematical foundations (especially mathematical proofs), theory of computation, and logic in computer science. Applicants whose previous degrees do not exactly match the requirements but cover a significant portion of them may be invited to participate in an online exam to determine their suitability for the programme.
APS Certificate
An APS certificate is required for applicants who have completed their qualifying education in India, China, or Vietnam.
