Courses are held in English (30%) and German (70%). Participants can choose to write their Master's theses in either language.
First-year students from Germany and the EU
First-year students from non-EU countries (application via uni-assist)
Prospective students applying from outside the EU must request a Preliminary Examination Documentation (VPD) from uni-assist before applying to the Master's programme. The processing time for the VPD takes up to eight weeks. Therefore, please allow enough time before applying for the programme. More information about applying for the VPD can be found on the central application pages.
The Master’s degree programme in Computer Engineering offers students in-depth training in the specialist disciplines of computer science and information technology, e.g. applied computer science, architectures and systems, communications networks and message transmission systems, distributed systems, high-frequency technology and wireless systems, man-machine communication, mixed signal circuitry, multimedia signal processing and automatic image interpretation, systems engineering, and theoretical computer science. The programme exhibits numerous connections to the disciplines of automation technology, communications technology and electrical engineering. Students gain the skills required to independently and comprehensively understand and structure technical informatics issues and their applications, and to develop abstract models. These skills enable students to define solutions that comply with state-of-the-art technical informatics in terms of technology and science. The Master’s degree programme in Computer Engineering prepares students for a career in various sectors of industry and the economy, enabling them to produce scientific work independently. The degree qualifies graduates to work independently and to take on managerial roles in the fields of computer science and information technology. It also entitles graduates to embark on doctoral studies.

The job market is complex and offers a wide range of options for students when they finish their degrees. Decisive factors for a successful start to your career are a clear professional goal, some initial experience in actual practice, contacts in the working world, and the ability to make a convincing impression in the job application process. The Career Service supports students from all subjects on their personal journey from their studies via internships to their careers.
