Computer Science (MSc)

The Master's degree programme in Computer Science provides students with additional, in-depth, scientifically sound concepts, methods and techniques of computer science after a first professionally qualifying university degree in a relevant subject. The Master's programme makes our graduates generalists in computer science - and at the same time specialists in a subject area that they can choose freely according to their personal interests. H-BRS offers a wide range of specialisations.

After successful completion of the course, students are awarded the internationally recognised academic degree of Master of Science. This degree entitles the holder to a doctorate. The degree prepares students for specialist and management positions in industry, business, administration, research and development.

Information on admission and application

For a consecutive Master's programme a Bachelor's degree in the same field of study as the Master's programme must be obtained.
An accredited Bachelor's degree from a so-called Berufsakademie in Germany is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree from a higher education institution.

For degrees that were not obtained in Germany, equivalence with German Bachelor' s degrees must be established. This assessment is based on the guidelines of the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) and the Lisbon Recognition Convention, which are binding.
