Computational Visualistics

Computational Visualistics is an interdisciplinary course only offered in Germany by Magdeburg and Koblenz Universities. It looks at how computers can be used to generate and analyse images. The course in Computational Visualistics is especially aimed at students with wide ranging interdisciplinary interests, as on the one hand, the course delivers in-depth specialist knowledge in the core areas of computer science such as databases, programming, mathematics and software engineering, whilst on the other hand providing students with specific knowledge of image-related aspects of computer science, such as computer graphics, image processing and algorithmic geometry. It also conveys a basic understanding of the humanities subjects that are essential for the development of computer systems, such as perceptual psychology or pedagogy. Students are given the tools to employ their knowledge of computer science to solve problems in applied subjects such as medicine, construction and design.
