Master

The four-semester master's programme DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES makes you an expert in digital transformation and shaping a sustainable future. Just like the Bachelor's programme, the Master's programme is characterised by the unique combination of computer science subjects, courses from our application areas and interdisciplinary digitisation projects.

In the master's program DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES you have the choice! You can choose one major and one minor in the computer science disciplines as well as in the application areas and thus determine your individual specialization.

The computer science disciplines:

• Cooperative Human-Machine Interaction
• Engineering Methods and Dependability
• Machine Learning and Big Data
• Smart Cyber-Physical Systems

The application areas:

• Autonomous Systems
• Circular Economy and Environmental Engineering
• Digital Transformation
• Energy
• Industry 4.0
• Mobility

You will take three modules each in the main discipline of computer science and in the main application area. You will take two additional modules in the secondary discipline of computer science and in the secondary application area. Here, too, you have the choice! Choose the modules that interest you from the module catalog! You can find the module catalog in the module handbook under study organization.

Students who wish to pursue a scientific career or who have a special focus on research can alternatively complete a research semester in the third semester in consultation with the supervisors of the study program.

The special features of the program are the interdisciplinary and cross-curricular digitization projects. These projects combine the fundamentals learned in the computer science subjects with interesting questions and relevant problems in the application areas. As part of the digitization projects, each semester they work in a team consisting of students from the Bachelor's and Master's programs on an interdisciplinary problem. Together they complement their knowledge and master the exciting challenges of the teaching staff.

Admission to the DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES master's program can be obtained directly with one of the following bachelor's degrees:

• Digital Technologies, B.Sc.
• Computer Science, B.Sc.
• Business Information Systems, B.Sc.
• or a degree equivalent to this

Graduates of other programs can also study the Master's program with the necessary computer science knowledge. The decision as to whether the previous academic studies are suitable is made by the enrolment office, in cases of doubt by the selection committee. The positive decision can be linked to the requirement to complete missing modules amounting to a maximum of 30 CP in accordance with the examination regulations before admission to the Master's thesis. The modules are generally from the module catalog of the Bachelor's degree program in Digital Technologies. This coursework can be completed during the course of study and started parallel to the Master's degree program.

Language admission requirements:

• Foreign students need a German certificate at level B1
• a German certificate at level A2 must be available at the time of application
• TestDAF, DSH, or similar.

You can find the admission regulations on our study organization pages.
