What you will learn
To be able to apply computer science in business and research, you need to possess sound and up-to-date knowledge that goes beyond your undergraduate degree. In our Master’s programme in Applied Computer Science, we’ll teach you this knowledge and the skills needed to pursue your professional career – at a high level and with a practical focus. This qualification will enable you to start your professional career as full-stack-developer or IT-consultant in industry or administration. Or you can study for a PHD in computer science.
Our innovative approach that pays off
Having a Master of Science degree in “Applied Computer Science” and a qualification on all layers of full-stack-development including your individual profile will give you best chance on an exciting and well-paid job in software and IT-industry. Graduates from previous years now work for large companies such as ABB, Airbus and Accenture, and for Adidas, Audi, Bosch, BMW, BASF, Deloitte, Deutsche Börse, DKFZ, Triumph, PWC, SAP and Verivox, as well as for successful SMEs. Our programme will also qualify you for a position in the public sector, for work in research, and for a doctorate.
The thing I admire the most is the freedom and support to pursue your goals/dreams. Which in my case lead to success in Research & Development and securing a good position in a reputed organization.
