The Student Office checks whether a Bachelor’s degree is recognized. A selection committee decides after the application whether students with recognized Bachelor’s degrees are admitted to the Master’s degree course in Computer Science. The other requirements for a Master’s degree in Computer Science can be found in the admission regulations. 

As the Computer Science degree program is primarily offered in German, either a German university entrance qualification or (for international students) German language skills at C1 level must be proven. In addition, it should be mentioned that in the course of a degree program (not only in Computer Science), considerable written and spoken contributions at an academic level are required in the language of instruction (presentations, papers, exercises, project reports, final theses). Students are therefore expected to be fluent in written and spoken German and to have a command of the relevant technical language.

• Preparation for the German Exam
• Accepted language exams

The Master’s programme in Computer Science requires knowledge of German at C1 level. At the time of application, proof of knowledge of German at B2 level is sufficient. At the latest 2 weeks after the start of lectures, the C1 certificate must be submitted to the Students’ Office.

• Preparation for the German Examination
• Accepted language exams

Applicants who have not obtained their higher education entrance qualification (usually the Abitur) at a German-speaking institution must prove that they have the required German language skills before commencing their studies.

• Further information

The formal requirements in German are checked during enrolment. However, if these requirements are not sufficient for practical study, further German courses at different levels and with different emphases can be taken (SZHB). For international students, the CPs acquired can also be recognised in the area of General Studies.
