All degree programs

What is it?

The goal of this master's degree in computer science is to provide graduates of the bachelor's degree programs with a comprehensive further qualification at a high academic level which offers a wide range of options. Students acquire practice-relevant skills in state-of-the-art science and technology.

The standard period of study for this master’s degree program is three semesters. Its distinguishing feature are its three innovative specialization options, which can be chosen according to students’ personal interests and inclinations. These are:

  • embedded systems,
  • smart & interactive systems,
  • software engineering.

The master's degree program in principle qualifies students to pursue a doctorate - for example at the Inter-University Doctoral Research Center for applied computer science at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and Fulda University of Applied Sciences.

What can I do with it?

Graduates of the degree program are qualified for all fields of computer science, since the degree program is not geared to a specific occupational profile. The range of possible professional fields can therefore be found in both the academic and the non-academic job market. Graduates can carry out complex tasks in companies, scientific institutions and public administration, and can also take on management positions in IT or related areas.

 

For degree-seeking students: detailed information on admission requirements, application deadlines, etc. can be found on the German page.
