The aim of the Master's degree programme is to deepen the knowledge and skills acquired in the Bachelor's degree programme, both in computer science and in a natural science subject such as biology, chemistry, physics or biotechnology, taking particular account of current scientific findings. In addition, students are increasingly encouraged to work independently in accordance with the scientific principles of Computer Science.
After completing the degree programme, graduates should be able to be engaged in science related business. Due to the skills they have acquired in the area of project work, they are also optimally prepared for scientifically orientated model and software development. The qualifications also offer the best opportunities on the normal labour market for computer scientists, as graduates have already transcended the boundaries of the purely specialist discipline of computer science during their studies due to the scientific orientation.
