Computer Science (M.Sc.)

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.

It is possible to decide on a practical orientation of the programme and to complete an optional practical semester at a domestic or foreign company or research institution.
