Information for Pupils
Ever taught a robot to drive, or built a scanner to capture objects in three dimensions? We want to make students aware of the computer science field at an early age, and therefore offer several programs, lectures and workshops. Why not sign up? It only takes a few clicks!
Guidance and Information for Students
What is the meaning of this passage in the study regulations? Is it possible to write a master’s thesis externally, at a company? Can I get credit for courses taken abroad? We are happy to advise you on these and other issues.
Courses and Lecturers
The lectures of the individual programs are listed on the “Teaching, Research, Study” (German abbreviation: “LSF”) portal. Students register there for exams and tests. The “collision table” makes conflicts visible at a glance.
Examinations
The staff of our examination office can answer any of your questions about examinations, credit points, or bachelor’s and master’s theses. Please have a look at the website of the examination office for further information and forms.
