Computer Science (M.Sc.)

The prerequisite for admission to the Master's degree programme in Computer Science is a qualified degree from a Bachelor's degree programme in Computer Science or a comparable degree programme. The Examination Board will determine whether the subject is comparable.

As a special admission requirement, sufficient knowledge and skills in the following subject areas must have been acquired in the undergraduate degree programme:

• programming in Java and C, Mathematics to the extent of at least 12 credit points,
• algorithms, data structures, databases,
• software engineering,
• theoretical computer science and
• web technologies.

This is generally assumed for computer science graduates. For graduates of other degree programmes, the fulfilment of these special admission requirements is determined by the examination board.

The examination board will determine whether and which achievements these applicants may have to make up.

Proof of missing achievements must be provided by the time of registration for the Master's thesis.

The degree programme must have been completed with an overall grade of 2.5 (up to 2.59) or better. The examination board determines the comparability of "related degree programmes".

Applicants with qualifications obtained abroad may be admitted on application, provided that proof of equivalence can be provided.

The required overall grade is not an NC, but an admission requirement that must be met in order to participate in the application process.

This means that an application (overall grade lower than 2.59) is not considered / cannot be taken into account in the award procedure.
