Course Description
Want to build the intelligent systems that run tomorrow's cars, cameras, and cloud platforms? The M.Sc. Computer Science at the University of Siegen lets you specialize in Embedded Systems, Visual Computing, or Complex and Intelligent Software Systems, all taught entirely in English. What sets Siegen apart is a rare setup: electrical engineering and computer science are combined in one department, so you learn where hardware, sensors, and software truly meet. Small cohorts, a personal mentor for every student, and direct involvement in ongoing research projects mean you graduate with more than a degree: you leave with hands-on experience that employers in industry and academia actively seek.
You are the kind of person who takes things apart to understand how they work, whether it is a microcontroller, a neural network, or a sprawling codebase. With a bachelor's in computer science behind you, you want to go deeper rather than broader. You love the moment when theory turns into a system that actually runs, you enjoy solving problems as a team, and you see yourself designing embedded systems, teaching machines to see, or building the intelligent software behind tomorrow's products.

Accreditations
System Accreditation
System Accreditation
System accreditation is the internal quality assurance system of a state or state-recognized higher education institution in Germany. With system accreditation, a higher education institution receives the right to award the seal of the Accreditation Council for its self-assessed study programs.

Testimonials
I felt at home from my very first semester and, by choosing the “Visual Computing” specialization, I was able to focus on exactly the topics that interested me most—in my case, processing digital images using artificial intelligence methods. Some of my advanced courses had fewer than 10 students, which meant that the professors knew all of us personally and by name. Through a professor’s connection with a colleague in the US, I had the opportunity to write my master’s thesis at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Thanks to the research experience I gained there, I was then able to pursue a PhD!
