Computer Science (M.Sc.)
Structure of the program
The standard duration of the Master's program in Computer Science is three semesters including a Master's thesis.
In the 1st semester
you will learn technical-mathematical basics, an in-depth scientific approach as well as the latest technologies with a cross-sectional character at the forefront of modern computer science research. Furthermore, you will acquire the additional qualifications in the area of leadership skills.
In the 2nd semester,
your knowledge will be considerably broadened and deepened. For this purpose, you will learn and practice selected subject areas of modern computer science in each individual module.
In the 3rd semester
you will complete your Master's thesis. For this purpose, workplaces and topics are available to you at the university. Due to the very good job market situation for computer scientists in the Karlsruhe region, you can also complete your Master's thesis in cooperation with an industrial partner or an external research institution.
