Computer Science (M.Sc.)

Three specializations

In the first two semesters you can freely choose a total of four modules available at the three specializations:

Machine Learning
Media Informatics
Software- & Systems-Engineering

You do not need to decide on a specialization, as the modules assigned to the specializations (three elective modules and one compulsory module) can be mixed as desired. However, if you want to have a specialization noted on your degree certificate, you must have completed all four modules of this specialization.

Machine Learning

Automatic error detection in production, real-time language translation, and the use of autonomous robots in disaster management are just three current examples in the field of artificial intelligence made possible by Machine Learning.

In order to meet the growing demand for experts in these fields, the Machine Learning specialization teaches the necessary methodological basics paired with current application examples from practice.

Media Informatics

With the specialization in Media Informatics, you will acquire knowledge of media-relevant areas of computer science as well as a solid knowledge in the field of interactive media design. The interdisciplinary teamwork and high practical orientation is ensured by a high proportion of application-oriented and project-based teaching/learning approaches. For example, you will realize interactive installations using sensor technology and physical computing platforms and immerse yourself in virtual worlds (augmented and virtual reality) or design the dialog for a voice control system (conversational user interface).

This specialization enables you to work in particular in the field of developing intermedia applications in the IT and media industry as well as in research and development, to plan projects and to carry them out independently or in a team.

Software- & Systems-Engineering

With the increasing digitalization of our world, the systematic, engineering-based creation of software plays a special role. Because only this systematic approach will allow us to master digitalization in the long term. Of course, this not only includes a profound understanding of algorithms and architectures, but also requires in-depth knowledge of methods, tools and frameworks for the planning and implementation of complex software projects.

If you are interested in core computer science with its diverse tasks in project implementation and project management, then this is the right specialization for you.
