This program is research-oriented and consecutive and is based on a research-oriented Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. It can also be attended by graduates from similar bachelor programs, such as Computer and Systems Engineering, Mathematics or Information Systems Engineering
The master program Computer Science aims at a research-oiented specialisation of the professional and methodological comepetence acquired in a university degree in a major subject in computer science.
This also includes the enlargement of vocationally competences and the education in the fundamentals of computer science on a high level. As a result, the graduates are able to access complex problems in the field of computer science independently and solve them with scientific methods. Beyond that, team skills, social competence and communication skills are developed during the studies in large measure.
The master program Computer Science is both interdisciplinary and integrative and characterized by an intensive research orientation.
It is unusual for a university degree course that students can integrate an internship semester into their studies. The course comprises a small number of compulsory subjects, but these provide a deeper insight into the cornerstones of computer science and adapt the students' level of knowledge. In addition, there is a very large and varied range of electives with the possibility of completing one of the specializations Data Science/Machine Learning, Algorithmics and Logic, Computer Vision and Visualization, IT Security and IoT Engineering.
Due to the integration into a technically oriented university (especially mechanical and electrical engineering), the Ilmenau degree program also offers the opportunity to gain an insight into these areas through lectures or projects. This offer becomes even greater when you consider the technology companies in the Ilmenau area and at the Erfurter Kreuz, which also offer attractive job opportunities after graduation.
And finally, studying here is fun! As a student, you will study in small groups of usually fewer than 20 fellow students. This means that you will be offered intensive and individual support.
