Program Overview

You have completed your bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related disciplines and are now looking to take the next step in your career? Do you want to become a digital expert and deepen your methodological and technological knowledge in Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence through a study program in Germany? Then our English-taught master’s program in Computer Science (M.Sc.) is the right choice for you.

The master’s program in Computer Science (M.Sc.) helps you critically assess the security of computer systems and creatively apply technological possibilities and innovations in the fields of computer science. Additionally, you will broaden and deepen your formal methods, algorithmic skills and other applied computer science methods, as well as your knowledge in the areas of Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence.

Study content
In the master’s program, you will design, implement and exploit methods in cryptography and security related areas, but will also learn to use, adapt and improve modern artificial intelligence techniques related to data, planning and applications. These areas will be complemented by project management skills which will help you to implement e.g. security measures at your company. Additionally, you learn more about life in Germany and the work culture in various courses. Topics in your study program include, among others:

• Cyber Attacks & Threat Management
• Intelligent Systems
• Machine Learning
• IIOT / Intro to Python
• Enterprise Security Architecture
• Security Governance, IT Law & Compliance
• Project AI / Cyber Security
• Architecture and process management

Majors
In the master’s program in Computer Science (M.Sc.), the main focus lies on the fields of Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence. You will acquire competencies in both areas but can specialize in one major as you progress through your studies, further aligning your education with your interests and career goals.

Customizable third semester
Instead of spending your third semester on campus you can choose to complete an internship or opt for a semester abroad. This will allow you to deepen your knowledge in computer science-related areas and to gain professional or intercultural experience.
