Applied Computer Science
The four-semester Master's degree program offers you an in-depth scientific qualification, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, distributed software, high-performance computing and IT systems. This puts graduates in a position to advance into areas that will largely determine future technical and scientific development, particularly in the integrated application subjects.
The Master's degree in Applied Computer Science provides a solid foundation for further academic qualifications, such as a doctorate (PhD).

What alumni say
Lorenzo Neumann (25) continues to work at the Institute of Computer Science after completing his degree in Applied Computer Science at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. He is particularly fond of the technical equipment and the application-related subjects. Lorenzo Neumann got to know TU Freiberg during taster courses while he was still at school.
"I was particularly impressed by the CAVE, a state-of-the-art virtual reality room," he says. He benefited from this during his studies and used technical gadgets such as mixed reality glasses and easy access to the institute's own high-performance computer DGX from
Nvidia. "During my studies, I not only attended computer science lectures, but also took an application subject." He later decided to specialise in technology and attended courses in physics, electrical engineering and automation systems, among others. He was so enthusiastic about his studies in Freiberg that he went on to complete his Master's degree and now works as a research assistant at the Chair of Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Sys-
tems. "I have never regretted the decision to pursue my career here at the institute."
