- Description/content
- Combining the breadth of a traditional course of study with the specialisation in one out of three highly attractive majors, the English-taught Master's degree programme in Computer Science is perfectly suited to obtain an excellent education tailored towards the needs of the working market. The majors / study profiles are:
• Autonomous Systems in Computer Science (AUT)
• Service Technology and Engineering (STE)
• Visual Computing (VC)
Moreover, the English Master's degree programme constitutes a great opportunity to qualify for a PhD programme in the case of an outstanding degree. Obligatory courses in the Master's programme in Computer Science are entirely in English. However, as there is a great variety of courses the students can choose from in the elective part of the programme, there is the possibility of attending courses in German as well.
Details of the programme contents, curricula, timetables, and further information can be found on the programme website.
The University of Stuttgart is an international well-established research university, especially in computer science and engineering. The research budget funded by national and international research foundations and by industry is the largest of all computer science faculties in Germany. Moreover, Stuttgart is located right in the heart of the leading technology region in Europe. Companies including Daimler AG, Porsche, Bosch, Celesio, Hewlett-Packard and IBM have their world or European headquarters here. In addition, research and development laboratories of international companies like Philips, IBM, Lucent Alcatel, or Agilent are located in Stuttgart. The University of Stuttgart has strong relations to these industrial partners.
Apart from these strong industrial ties, the University of Stuttgart offers several PhD programmes in computer science for Master's students. These programmes cover various scientific fields such as robotics, visual computing, computer engineering, service technology and engineering, database systems, parallel as well as distributed systems just to name a few of them. Together with its connections to industry, this structure leads to an excellent research and working environment with great job opportunities in industry and academia for talented and motivated international and national Master's and PhD students.
