What is it?
The goal of this master's degree in computer science is to provide graduates of the bachelor's degree programs with a comprehensive further qualification at a high academic level which offers a wide range of options. Students acquire practice-relevant skills in state-of-the-art science and technology.
The degree program in Computer Science - Smart Systems for Man and Technology M. Sc. is a four-semester master's degree program and its distinguishing feature is its focus on research. In addition to several required elective modules, in which specialization options can be chosen according to students’ personal interests and inclinations, the curriculum also includes a research project in the third semester. This degree program is particularly relevant for students who would like to go on to work in the field of innovative research and development and who would like to begin pursuing a career path towards universities, research institutions or industrial research during their studies.
The master's degree program qualifies students to pursue a doctorate at the Inter-University Doctoral Research Center for applied computer science at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and Fulda University of Applied Sciences. It is also the ideal preparation for a doctorate at other universities.
What can I do with it?
Graduates of the degree program are qualified for all fields of computer science, since the degree program is not geared to a specific occupational profile. The range of possible professional fields can therefore be found in both the academic and the non-academic job market. Graduates can carry out complex tasks in companies, scientific institutions and public administration, and can also take on management positions in IT or related areas.
