Welcome to the Master's Program in Computer Science (Master Informatik) at the University of Bonn. On this website you will find detailed information on our English-taught, two-year full time program and the application requirements. Our online application system offers you a simple and quick way of applying to us.

The Master’s Program in Computer Science (Master Informatik), offered by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, has a research-based profile. This program is designed to provide students with the required expert knowledge, skills and methods as well as interdisciplinary key qualifications, taking into account the requirements and changes in the professional world, in order to enable them to work scientifically, to classify and utilise scientific discoveries in a critical manner and to act responsibly.

The Master's Program comprises four tracks, each corresponding to one of the four main areas of competence in research of the Bonn Institute of Computer Science:

• Algorithmics: The main goal of algorithmics is to advance our knowledge on what can be done efficiently by means of computers. This involves foundational research, as well as various research applications driven by the latest technical developments…

• Graphics, Vision, Audio: Sight and hearing are the most important human senses in order to communicate with each other and processing of digital image and audio data has become a major topic in computer science. The amount of digital data like images, videos, sound, speech, motion or 3D data is rapidly growing and even the digitization of the whole earth is under way…

• Information and Communication Management: The ingenious combination of modern information and communication systems technology in the framework of most advanced software engineering practices is the key for building lage-scale, data and communication intensive systems…

• Intelligent Systems: With more and more data available for analysis and decision making - from web documents and digital media to sensory data from cameras, microphones, and ubiquitous devices - intelligent services and support systems of an entirely new kind can be created, and autonomous agents and personal robots are on the horizon…

A detailed description of all courses offered in our Master’s Program are contained in the Module Handbook for the Master's Program "Computer Science".

The official examination rules for the Master's Degree are stated in German and published by the examination office. An English translation is also available: (English language version of the examination rules).
