A second requirement in order to be accepted to a master’s degree programme at our University is an appropriate bachelor’s qualification with a good grade. Two further general conditions apply: the bachelor’s degree must be equivalent to the corresponding German qualification both in terms of content and quality. For the consecutive Master’s degree programme „Computer Science“ the required first degree must be very closely related to Computer Science in terms of content.
The decision about admission is taken by our Master’s admission committee after we have received your complete application and all required documents. Teaching language in the Master’s degree Programme Computer Science is mainly German. Our international master study programs (taught in English) are Computional Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
