Program Overview
We colourise computer science! Because computer science is one thing above all: highly versatile. For us, core computer science is just as much a part of it as the many different fields of application in which your skills are needed! In the Master's degree programme in computer science, you can deepen or expand your knowledge of advanced topics in core computer science and – if you wish – specialise in specific application areas. The programme is divided into: a compulsory area (including Master's thesis) (min. 60 ECTS [European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System]) the compulsory elective area "Core Computer Science" (at least 18 ECTS) the compulsory elective area "Specialisation" (at least 42 ECTS) Not to be missed: the compulsory area Advanced knowledge of software engineering and algorithms is essential for us when studying computer science. You will acquire this knowledge in two lectures of the same name with associated labs (6 ECTS each). An elective module allows you to complete courses in computer and data science according to your own interests (12 ECTS). The compulsory area is completed by a seminar on current topics in computer science (6 ECTS) and the Master's thesis module (30 ECTS). It all comes down to the core: the Core Computer Science elective area You must choose three modules (at least 18 ECTS) from 20 scheduled modules in the areas of theoretical computer science, computer engineering, practical computer science and applied computer science. Examples of modules are "Topics in Theoretical Computer Science", "Modern Machine Learning", "Advanced Explainable AI", "Embedded Systems", "Advanced Data Engineering", "Digital Image Processing – AI-based Approaches", "Post-Quantum Cryptography", etc. Whatever you want: the Specialisation elective area You can (but do not have to) specialise in one of four specialisations as part of your studies by completing modules amounting to at least 42 ECTS from one specialisation (following specified regulations). You can choose between the specialisations: Core Computer Science Bioinformatics Human-Centred Computing Information Systems In all specialisations, there is a compulsory elective area, so that you can also choose modules within a specialisation according to your interests. If you complete your Master's thesis project as part of your specialisation, we will highlight your specialisation on your Master's certificate. The choice of a specialisation is mandatory.

Applicants must provide proof of this by means of a language test, such as the "Test of English as a Foreign Language" (TOEFL) (at least 79 points) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) (at least 6.5 points) or equivalent proof; if the final thesis (Bachelor's thesis) was written in English, this is also a proof of adequate English language skills. If the language of instruction during your studies was English, you will still need to provide proof of language proficiency (language test certificate or thesis). Only applicants with English as their first language are exempt from providing proof of English language skills. In this case, it is sufficient to upload a copy of your passport. No knowledge of German is required, but it is recommended that students acquire a knowledge of German during their studies.
