The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Computer Science is a broad computer science master's degree at its core but has distinctive interdisciplinary specializations. It is designed to provide the fundamentals of informatics to develop and maintain systems of software and hardware analytically, creatively, and constructively. The methodical and analytical training in combination with a broad spectrum of applications qualifies graduates of this program for a field that is in high demand on the job market. Possible fields of application include mathematics, physics, economics, VWL, digital humanities, computational biology, and earth and atmosphere. The master's program in Computer Science is scientifically based and imparts broad and, in selected subfields, in-depth specialized knowledge. Furthermore, not only is content taught that is relevant to the present, but also theoretically underpinned concepts and methods that transcend current trends and enable students to engage in lifelong learning. Graduates are qualified for successful work throughout their entire professional life or for further scientific studies in this field.

Depending on the choice of emphasis, graduates will have strong competencies in the areas of:

• Algorithmics,
• Data Science,
• Artificial Intelligence,
• Scientific Computing,
• Visual Analytics,
• Software Engineering.

All of these areas are highly relevant and in demand in both academia and industry. The master's program is designed as a consecutive program to suitable bachelor's programs Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). Completion of the appropriate bachelor's degree is both a formal and a content-related prerequisite.
