Computer science students at Saarland University are very satisfied – this is the result of the newly published 2024 ranking by the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE). In key categories such as the general study situation, support at the start of studies and library resources, Saarbrücken computer science is in the top group. In terms of the range of courses on offer, Saarland University’s computer science department even took second place among state universities in Germany.
For several years now, the human-computer interaction (HCI) research community from Germany and a number of neighboring countries has been meeting in the run-up to the largest conference in their field, the “Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI)”, for a friendly exchange. This year, the so-called “German Pre-CHI” is taking place in Saarbrücken. More than 170 participants from 30 universities and institutions from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands attended event at the Saarland Informatics Campus from April 25 to 26.
Digitalization in schools is a much-discussed topic. The tenor: equipping students with tablets and laptops alone is not enough, meaningful applications are needed for the technical devices. This is what the “Technology-Enhanced Learning” research group led by computer science assistant-professor Tomohiro Nagashima at Saarland University is working on. Cooperating closely with teachers and students, the group develops customized applications that make learning effective and at the same time provide new insights for the science of human learning.
To kick off the upcoming semester, Saarbrücken Computer Science always organizes a welcome event at the beginning of the semester to greet new and returning students at the university. On this occasion, the student representatives of the computer science courses present their “Busy Beaver Award”, which honors lecturers who have shown particular commitment to teaching in the previous semester.
Obtaining a degree is a defining moment in life. To celebrate this special occasion, the Department of Computer Science at Saarland University once again held a graduation ceremony. Around 100 Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral graduates took part in the ceremony in the Günter Hotz lecture hall on the Saarbrücken university campus. A highlight of the event was the presentation of the Günter Hotz Medals and the Bachelor prizes for particularly excellent degrees.
