What is the Applied Computer Science MSc?
Applied computer science deals with the interface between computer science and a field of application. In the Applied Computer Science MSc you will deepen your knowledge in core computer science and at the same time you will learn about subject-specific areas of your chosen specialisation. Usually, the completion of the course takes four semesters (120 ECTS-Credits). Applicants for the Applied Computer Science MSc must hold a Bachelor degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) with at least 180 ECTS-Credits. Furthermore, you need proficiency in German (DSH 2) and English (CEFR B2).
How is the structure of the course?
The course is structured as follows:
What is the focus of the DH specialisation?
