About this programme
The Master's programme in Computer Science improves students' competencies in planning, designing and creating information systems and/or embedded software systems ultimately leading to a professional qualification. During the first three semesters, students choose lectures, a project (lab) and a seminar in one self-selected area of specialisation, other areas in computer science, and a supplementary subject. The following specialisations are offered: Algorithmics and Deduction Embedded Systems and Robotics Information Systems Intelligent Systems Distributed and Networked Systems Software Engineering Visualisation and Scientific Computing Data Science The supplementary subjects comprise about 25% of the course of studies. In the fourth semester, every student has to write a Master's thesis. The Department of Computer Sciences at RPTU offers a unique research environment within the university and the associated, internationally renowned institutes (Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental SW Engineering, German Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems). The institutes offer lectures, projects, Master's theses, and student assistant jobs. International teams of professors, postgraduates, and students collaborate on various fields of research covering a broad range with particular strengths in: Software Technology and Software Engineering Scientific Computing Information and Database Systems Data Science Artificial Intelligence and C
