Master's Studies in Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University

Perspectives determine structure

The Master's Studies in Computer Science provide their graduates with the competencies for a broad spectrum of opportunities. The structure of the RWTH Computer Science Master’s degree pursues two aims. On the one hand, it enables specialization in a particular direction. On the other hand, you can also pursue a generalist approach where credits are distributed more evenly across four areas.

As the program has high demands on students, there is a strong team spirit throughout the RWTH Informatik building in Aachen. There are duties, but also freedoms: no top-down attitude, but a nice, almost family-like atmosphere. This holds for both the students and the relationships among the different research groups. The age structure of the 27 professors is well distributed, leading to many joint activities.

Prof. Joost-Pieter Katoen (I2) has been awarded a Distinguished Professorship from the RWTH Aachen University

The funds may be used for new research equipment, the recruitment of research staff, research visits, and the hosting of visiting scholars. By application, awardees may also be granted reduced teaching assignments.
