Curricula
The faculty of computer science offers three study programs:
- computer science; ends with the "Diplom"; it's a more traditional computer science study program
- software technology; ends with the "Diplom"; is more oriented towards software development with a focus on team work.
- information technology; international study program in collaboration with the faculty of electrical engineering; courses are in English
For a German version of the curriculum of computer science:
The information on the curriculum of computer science is usually only available a few weeks before the lectures start. However, the courses are held regularily on a one-year basis, i.e., a course in fall 1997 will be held again in fall 1998. So, if you do not find the information for the next semester, you can check out the old archives.
