Computer Science for Digital Media

In the English-language Master’s degree programme Computer Science for Digital Media, students are introduced to the latest research findings in the field of interactive digital media. In addition to providing research-oriented professional training, the programme helps students acquire communication and presentation skills through their project work.

The entire programme is taught in English. »English is the technical language in computer science and thus it has to be an integral part of the curriculum,« says the Computer Science for Digital Media coordinator Prof. Dr. Stefan Lucks. »Our graduates are thus optimally prepared for the IT job market and are competitive especially in international research and development.«

The internationally recognized and accredited master's programme adopts an integrative approach based on two fundamental concepts:

• Study of a selection of primary subject areas: media security, data mining, information retrieval, machine learning, visual analytics, optimization, mathematical modelling, mobile media, human-computer interfaces, usability, graphics, computer vision and visualisation.
• Acquisition of soft skills through a project-based study approach including active training of scientific communication, presentation and writing skills in small groups.
