Your advantage: You combine cutting-edge knowledge with hands-on projects – making you a strong candidate for international companies and research institutions.
 

Reach your goal in just three semesters

Semesters 1–2: Deepen your knowledge & put it into practice
In the first two semesters, you’ll explore your field in depth – not just in theory, but through hands-on application. You’ll work with cutting-edge methods and tools, develop your own solutions and put them into practice in real research projects. Lectures give you the essential foundations, while seminars and practical sessions help you sharpen your expertise and give you the space to explore and refine complex ideas.

You’ll gain in-depth knowledge in areas such as System Simulation, Data Mining, Data Analysis, Information Engineering, Statistics and Geoinformatics. At the same time, you’ll develop key skills in scientific and technical communication, intercultural management and innovation management. Elective modules allow you to specialise in areas such as Computer Science, Environmental Analysis, Logistics, Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering or Artificial Intelligence.

Semester 3: Master’s thesis & colloquium
In your third semester, you’ll focus entirely on your Master’s thesis and colloquium. This is your opportunity to combine academic expertise with practical application and demonstrate what you can do.

Studying this Master’s programme in English gives you several real advantages. You’ll study in the language used worldwide across science, technology and business, preparing you for an international career. Strong English skills are essential for many jobs in IT and technology – and here, you’ll use and improve them every day.

Your degree will open up exciting career and research opportunities not only across Europe, but around the world. At the same time, you’ll study in a multicultural environment, experience different ways of thinking and working, and develop valuable intercultural skills.

And because the latest academic publications and research findings are usually published in English first, you’ll always be up to date with developments in your field.

Admission is based on an application and selection process.

To be eligible for the Master’s programme in Information Engineering and Computer Sciences, you need to meet the following requirements:

• A first professionally qualifying university degree (e.g. BSc, BA, Diplom or equivalent) from a degree programme that included practical and technical computer science as well as fundamental courses in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering. If you do not meet all of these subject requirements, you may compensate for individual gaps by providing evidence of additional knowledge and qualifications. You may submit a written statement of no more than 1,000 words to explain these.
• An overall grade of at least 2.3 for your first degree.
• If you completed your Bachelor’s degree outside the European Higher Education Area, a TestAS certificate relevant to this degree programme with a score of at least 100, or alternatively a Graduate Aptitude Test (GATE) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE; Q = 160, V = 145, A = 4.5).
• Proof of English proficiency at a minimum level of B2 (CEFR) or equivalent.
