About the programme

The Master's in Informatics at TUM in Garching runs for four semesters with 120 ECTS, full-time or part-time, with a start in the winter or the summer semester. Teaching is usually in English. Informatics drives digitisation, Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence, and you learn to apply its principles, methods and tools to concrete and theoretical problems and develop innovative solutions. The programme builds analytical, creative and constructive skills for evaluating, developing and implementing software and hardware systems, along with formal, algorithmic and mathematical skills and design, project management and technology skills. You shape your own profile through specialisations such as algorithms, computer graphics and vision, databases and information systems, digital biology and medicine, formal methods, machine learning and data analysis, computer architecture, networks and distributed systems, robotics, IT security and high-performance computing. Admission is through an aptitude assessment.
