Information Engineering and Computer Science, MSc

With this Master’s degree, you’ll be prepared for a wide range of careers where data, AI and intelligent information systems play a key role. 

Depending on your interests and specialization, career opportunities include:
• Information and data management
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Software and distributed systems
• Web and cloud technologies for large-scale storage and computing solutions
• Simulation of complex systems (e.g. modelling the environment)
• Environmental data analysis and information systems
• Supply chain planning and optimization
• Research and development in data- and AI-driven technologies
 

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 & choose your focus
In the first two semesters, you’ll deepen your knowledge of data-intensive information systems, computer science and AI while applying what you learn in practical and research-oriented projects. You’ll study areas such as System Simulation, Data Analysis, Information Engineering, Data Mining, Machine Learning and AI-based systems, while also strengthening your scientific and technical communication skills.
You’ll also shape your individual profile by choosing three modules from one of the specialization tracks: Software and Systems, Environmental Sciences or Supply Chain.

Semester 3: Master’s thesis & colloquium
In your third semester, you’ll focus on your Master’s thesis and colloquium. This is your opportunity to explore a topic in depth, apply scientific methods and connect your expertise with a practical or research-oriented challenge.
 

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.
