Information for Applicants
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!
Reasons to Study Computer Science in Saarbrücken
The best mentoring
Nowhere else in Germany do students have better support than in Saarbrücken: there is one researcher for every four students.
The Saarland
That it borders on France is clear right away: high quality of life, good food, varied cultural and natural attractions, and above all the warm and open Saarlanders.
The best financial support
Teaching assistantships allow you to earn money and academic credits. Merit scholarships are available for undergraduate and graduate studies.
In English, please!
From the fifth semester, all courses are in English; the master’s degree program is completely in English. The campus therefore has an international flair.
Five top institutes
Five world-renowned computer science institutes make the Saarland Informatics Campus a unique place to study in Europe.
Thinking outside the box
Computer science, cybersecurity or bioinformatics? Saarbrücken offers variety like nowhere else.
The Department of Computer Science
The central administrative services of the Computer Science Department are brought together in the administrative office. This includes the General Manager, the Study Coordinator, the System Administrator, and the secretaries.
The responsibilities of the administrative office include the following, which are of particular relevance for students and staff of the Computer Science Department.
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.
