Description
The aim of the master program Research in Computer & Systems Engineering is to educate students qualified for academical and industrial research in these fields. This requires profound knowledge in computer science, automation, and further engineering disciplines as application domain. Therefore, students are trained both to obtain methodical competences as well as abilities for independent research work. The Master of Science is a non-consecutive, research-oriented program and is based on a bachelor's degree in computer science, technical computer science, computer engineering, and optionally other professional experiences. Due to the strong research orientation of the program and the goal of preparing students for a research career in international labs and companies the program is offered in english only.

Master thesis

The Master in Research in Computer and System Engineering is one of the best courses I came across here in Germany, and of course in the prestigious university, University of Technology Ilmenau. Ilmenau is a small town in Thuringia and so nice for learning, with beautiful scenarios and nature.

My goal for the study was to refresh and improve my skills in mathematical and computer science. The program declared its goal of scientific orientation and contained two directions that were important for me: control theory and database management.
