Master of Science in Computer Science Bingen University of Applied Sciences

Courses are held in English. Participants can choose to write the Master's thesis in English or in German.

The regular duration of the Master’s degree programme in Computer Science is three semesters, and the programme concludes with the awarding of the Master of Science (MSc) academic degree. Throughout the course of study, you will gain the qualifications required to plan, develop, maintain, integrate, and operate software-intensive systems in real-world environments.

Elective modules are available to allow for specialisation and the individualisation of your academic profile. These modules enable you to acquire additional expertise, for example, in cryptography, artificial intelligence, advanced software engineering, leadership, management, or personal development.

A secondary focus of the Master’s programme is on developing theoretical knowledge and practical skills for conducting scientific work. Upon successful completion of the programme, you will also be well prepared to pursue an academic career, including doctoral studies.

Enrolment is only possible for the winter semester.
