Computer science
Master
The degree programme is based on the idea of engineering: the mastery of engineering and integrative methods in dealing with IT problems is at the centre of the course. Modern society is based on technical systems with a high proportion of information and communication, heterogeneous, distributed components and complex dynamic networking. Such systems require high quality in the development processes, but above all a combination of the engineering, IT and business worlds.

Programme content
The Master's degree programme in Computer Science requires a broad basic knowledge, a willingness to work in a team and practical experience in the most important disciplines of computer science. This knowledge is deepened in an application-oriented manner and expanded in specialised areas of computer science. The degree programme is based on the idea of engineering: the mastery of engineering and integrative methods in dealing with IT problems is at the centre of the course. Modern society is based on technical systems with a high proportion of information and communication, heterogeneous, distributed components and complex dynamic networking. Such systems require high quality in the development processes, but above all a combination of the engineering, IT and business worlds. The degree programme builds on a demanding computer science degree and provides the methods for cross-system, holistic thinking and working. It includes the four compulsory subjects Methodology of Applied Sciences, Software Quality, Web Security and Mobile Computing.
The Master programme is offered in German only.
Study programme
The programme lasts three semesters and can be started in the summer or winter semester. It concludes with a Master's thesis to be completed in the third semester. Students must acquire a total of 90 credit points (ECTS credits).
40 ECTS points are acquired in the core subjects. A further 5 ECTS points are earned by attending courses from the Master's in Business Information Systems, the Master's in Systems Engineering or approved courses from partner universities or the Virtual University of Bavaria. All students are required to complete a two-semester study project (10 ECTS credits) and attend a seminar (5 ECTS credits). The Master's thesis takes six months to complete (30 ECTS credits).
Upon successful completion of the programme, the academic degree "Master of Science", abbreviated to "M.Sc.", is awarded.
