About this programme

The Department of Computer Science is one of the best computer science departments in Germany (CHE ranking) and part of the Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC). This programme joins the forces of one of the highest-rated computer science departments in Germany and a first-class engineering department. What do insulin pumps, dishwashers, solar collector systems, high-speed trains, and modern sewing machines all have in common? They all function because they have one or more microprocessors housed within them. These embedded systems mean that washing machines are able to use less electricity and less water, cars have improved fuel economy, wheels do not spin, and airbags inflate at the right time. Saarland University is now offering a Master's degree programme in this area of very strong growth. https://saarland-informatics-campus.de/en/studium-studies/master-english/#CS-custom-anchor-Embedded-Systems
