- Description/content
- This programme focuses on the design and implementation of complex software systems, including their embedding in technical and socio-technical systems. The programme is designed to take full advantage of the scope and environment offered at RWTH Aachen University as one of the leading universities of technology in Europe. Students will gain knowledge of theoretical, practical, and applied aspects of computer science, which will allow them to adapt quickly to the constant changes in this fast-paced field. In addition, students will gain the ability to understand the necessary depth and interdisciplinary skills by taking courses in several areas. The programme features the areas of theoretical computer science, communication, data and information management, applied computer science, and software engineering. Students will take a seminar and a lab course, and they will conclude their studies by writing a Master's thesis.
