About the programme

Computer Science - dual is a German-taught Master of Science at Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da) that closely combines study with work: you are employed by a partner company throughout and alternate between university courses and practical phases there. It trains you to apply scientific methods to difficult and complex computer science problems, such as mapping business processes with IT, large software projects or optimisation and quality assurance. You choose a focus in business information systems, software engineering, IT security, or technical and graphic systems, and pick electives freely from a theory and practice catalogue. The programme takes four or six semesters and starts in the winter or summer semester. Graduates work in secure software development and testing, IT and security consulting, databases and networks, embedded systems and IT architecture, and the degree also opens the way to a doctorate. It suits graduates in computer science.

Prerequisites

The admission requirement for the Master's programme is a qualified Bachelor's degree in the field of computer science. Furthermore, other aspects that are conducive to the study of computer science (e.g. practical computer science work, completion of the Bachelor's degree within the standard period of study, student representative body work, semester abroad) can be taken into account in a selection process. University degrees in a subject comparable to computer science can be recognised for admission to the programme. The required qualification profile can, if necessary, be supplemented in bridge courses before the start of studies.
