- Description/content
- The Department of Computer Science is one of the best computer science departments in Germany (CHE ranking) and part of the Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC).
During the first three semesters, students choose lectures and seminars (90 credit points). They can choose courses (core lectures, advanced lectures, and seminars) in their own fields of specialisation. During the fourth semester, every student has to write a thesis (30 credit points).
We have a unique research environment at the university and the associated institutes: international teams of professors, postgraduates and students collaborate on various fields of research that cover a broad range of subject areas, with particular strengths in the following:
• artificial intelligence
• computational biology
• computational linguistics
• computer graphics
• algorithms and data structures
• computer networks
• image processing and computer vision
• information and database systems
• logic
• programming languages
• computer architecture
• security
Several research groups are among the best in the world in their fields.
