About this programme

In this Master’s degree programme, students expand on computer science subjects of their choice, e.g. computational health informatics, knowledge based systems, data science and digital libraries, visual analytics, scientific data management, database and information systems, empirical information security, machine learning, natural language processing, software engineering, human-computer interaction, usable security and privacy, real time systems, systems and computer architecture, dependable and scalable software systems, digital education and didactics of computer science, and theoretical computer science. In addition, students can also take a subsidiary subject, several basic computer science courses, and an industrial placement. Within the Studium Generale, students can gain key transferable skills such as foreign languages, visualisation and presentation, communication skills and team skills. The degree programme concludes with the Master’s thesis in the fourth semester. As part of the Master’s degree in computer science, you can set a thematic focus in your studies. You can choose between "Data Science", "Human-Centred Computing" and "System-Related Computer Science". At the end of your studies, you will receive a corresponding certificate from the faculty. For this, you must complete at least 45 CP (without a Master's thesis) in one of the specialisations. However, the choice is limited in the individual module groups. Currently, there are English modules in the modu
