Admission to Master's degree programmes in 2024/2025 (beginning: Autumn 2024)
Submission deadline until midnight 30 April 2024.

What will you learn?

The study of theoretical computer science focuses on a deeper understanding of basic principles underpinning the development of contemporary information technologies, including non-classical computational devices such as neural networks or quantum computers. Together with the active mastering of advanced theoretical as well as practical concepts, a special emphasis is put on the development of abstract thinking. The students gain a deeper understanding of advanced algorithms, principles of modern programming languages, and methods for verification and analysis of computer programs. Further, they understand the basic advantages and limitations of non-classical computational devices. After successfully completing the programme, the students are qualified for a wide variety of positions requiring complex expert skills.

“There is nothing as practical as a good theory (Kurt Lewin).”
