Our Master Courses of Study
The Master courses of study offered by the Computer Science Department are partly realized in cooperation with other universities and research institutes.
Computer Science M.Sc.
Standard Period of Studies: 4 semesters
The Master’s program aims to deepen existing expertise, abilities and methods in computer science with the goal of leading to higher qualifications and independence in this field.
Degree Content
The Master’s in computer science involves areas like theoretical computer science, applied computer science, software and communication, data and information management and the applied subject. Within the areas there is a wide range of electives to choose from. To a great extent in the Master’s program there is the possibility for students to familiarize themselves with a special area of computer science usually by writing a paper.

Data Science M.Sc.
Standard Period of Studies: 4 semesters
Data Science is a hot topic, which gains in importance as a cross-sectional topic almost everywhere including natural sciences, engineering, and medical science. Data Science deals with the extraction of knowledge and usable information from data. The available data sets are often very large, heterogeneous, and partially unreliable.
Degree Content
The essential constituents of data science are data analysis and systems engineering. Therefore, this course of study is going to convey modern methods of data analysis as well as algorithms and techniques for the development of information systems. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field with its roots in computer science, mathematics, and statistics and it has a strong link to various application areas.
