Computer Science (M.Sc.)

The 1st semester comprises the two interdisciplinary modules ‘Principles of Science and Ethics’ and ‘Management Competence’, thereby laying the foundations for responsible and independent academic work. This is supplemented by two subject-specific modules and the module ‘Project-Based Work 1’. This allows you to either proceed directly to your chosen specialisation or deliberately select content from different areas of focus to help you find your feet initially.

In the 2nd semester your knowledge is significantly expanded and deepened. Three subject-specific modules, the ‘Main Seminar’ and the module ‘Project-Based Work 2’ round off your academic training. Thanks to a largely flexible yet guided choice of modules, you have the opportunity to specialise in one of the three subject areas, or to develop a broad skill set with in-depth knowledge in specific sub-areas without pursuing a formal specialisation.

The 3rd semester is generally focused on writing the Master’s Thesis. This gives you the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you have acquired. The Master’s Thesis is usually written at an industry partner’s premises outside the university or at one of our research institutes.
