About the programme

The Master of Science in Research in Computer and Systems Engineering (RCSE) at Ilmenau University of Technology is a four-semester, research-oriented programme worth 120 credit points, with a start on 1 April or 1 October. Its aim is to train students for academic and industrial research in this field, which calls for a solid grounding in computer science, automation engineering and other engineering disciplines as areas of application. The programme therefore builds both methodological skills and the ability to carry out independent research. It is a non-consecutive master's that builds on a bachelor's in computer science, computer engineering or a related field. Because it prepares students for research careers in international labs and companies, it is offered only in English.
