Course Content
This degree programme covers the technical principles of computer science (computer architecture, implementation, networks), the efficient use of standard and specialised computers, as well as new approaches to computing hardware. In the field of microelectronics, the design and description of analog and digital circuits is covered and practical designs are implemented in microchips or FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays).
Depending on the personal preference, either Emerging Computing or Microelectronics can be chosen as field of focus.
Course Structure
In the first two semesters, 5 courses are required, which usually consist of 2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of tutorials per week. These courses are divided into the 4 areas
- Fundamentals (2 modules: Advanced Computer Architecture, Systems Theory)
- Specialization (6 modules from the areas of Microelectronics / Emerging Computing)
- Soft Skills (2 modules, e.g. software tools or business start-ups)
- Free Courses (2 modules, free choice from courses offered by the university)
The third semester includes a seminar and a project internship, which is also intended to prepare students for their Master's thesis. The Master's thesis in the fourth semester ends with a final colloquium.
