- Description/content
- This is an integrated Master's programme in mathematics and computer science. Several areas of contemporary research fields require excellent skills both in mathematics and in computer science. The Master's programme offers the possibility to specialise in a research area lying at the interface of mathematics and computer science. Three professors have joint affiliations in both departments.
Saarbrücken is one of the first places in Germany where one can study in such an integrated Master's programme. It has an excellent research reputation both in computer science and mathematics. The renowned Max Planck Institutes for Computer Science and Software Systems as well as the German Center for Artificial Intelligence and CISPA are on the campus, and they create a stimulating international research environment.
Research fields include the following, among others:
• Free Probability and Random Matrices
• Quantum Groups
• Quantum Information
