Below you find the regulations for the master program. Note, that these are transcripts of the official regulations which were prepared exclusively as a service for interested candidates:
The curriculum is fixed in appendix of the relevant study regulations. On this basis, the module charts result. From these you can get more detailed information for each module or each subject, such as Person in Charge, language, provided competencies, content, literature, and final modalities.
For each course in each semester, all current information is also compiled and published in the so-called module manual.
Upon request, the Examination Office may also provide module handbooks from previous semesters (starting from WS 13/14) as an electronic file.
The daily updated module charts and the current semester module handbooks can be found here:
You will find the curriculum as Appendix to Study Regulation.

Research Project / Research Seminar / Group Studies
Courses are offered by the TU Ilmenau groups participating in the RCSE curriculum.
Each research group can offer topics to be finished individually by the RCSE students.
How do I get a topic?
There are three options:
There may be a meeting for instance at the beginning of a semester in which the participating groups present their offered topics. However, there is no principal restriction in the time at which you must start the course.
How are the individual studies organized?
How are the individual studies graded?
The requirements are up to the responsible supervisor. A report has to be written usually. Depending on your actual task, a software program, a paper, a hardware setup etc. will be a required result. Grading will take into account the overall results compared to the task, individual performance during the work, and quality of document and presentation. Grading is done by the professor of the group in which the course was supervised, and the results are sent to the Prüfungsamt.
If the course is not successfully finished, cancelled by the student, or not finished within the granted time, the module is failed and has to be done again with a different topic.
Course offered by the TU Ilmenau groups participating in the RCSE curriculum.
Each research group can offer topics to be finished individually by the RCSE students.
The System and Software Engineering group is responsible for the general organization. Information will be made available on the web site of the group.
What requirements are there for Research Project topics?
for further informations please check the web site from the System and Software Engineering Group.
A research seminar serves to deepen the knowledge in dealing with scientific texts in a receptive and descriptive way. The main task of a student is the independent development of one or more pieces of scientific literature up to one's own understanding and the closed presentation of this material in a lecture to other students and the organizer, with questioning and discussion on a scientific level.
The seminar also serves to train the communication skills of the students in a subject-specific context.
The Databases and Information Systems group is responsible for the general organization.
You will find informations and available topics on the web sites of the groups participating in the RCSE curriculum.
Please notice that the course is similar to the Hauptseminar or Projektseminar for the other computer science curricula at TU Ilmenau, and so you will find some offered topics with german description only.
The course has the goal to learn to solve a scientific problem in a team of peers (minimum two students).
Problems are provided by the participating professors in the RCSE curriculum.
Please notice: you don't have to do Group Studies if you choose the curriculum with an Internship.
The life and hard times of a professional researcher has several characteristic workload pattern. Apart from hunting insights, researchers frequently have to give and listen to talks, read, write and review papers, launch research proposals, or organize workshops and conferences.
Successful research also requires many personal qualifications and skills such as analytical ability, ability to learn, to conceptualise, to communicate, to integrate knowledge, scientific discipline, curiosity, initiative, motivation, and, last but not least, quite a bit of masochism (for details see phdcomics.com).
This seminar trains skills that help to do efficient scientific work. Course topics are
The course is organized in three parts: a tutorial part where we study how to write research papers, review papers, design conference posters, write research proposals, and organize workshops. The second part is practical training, where every student will apply the new knowledge and will write and review papers, design conference posters, and take an active part in organizing a conference.
The concluding event will be the Annual RCSE Conference on Computer and Systems Engineering (CCSE) in February which will be fully organized by the course participants.
The Distributed Systems and Operating group is responsible for the organization. Information will be made available on the web site of the group.
