M.Sc. Computer Science — Compulsory Elective Modules in Computer Science

In this study area, modules are to be selected in a scope that depends on whether the optional study area Profile Area is selected and whether a second seminar is selected in the study area Practice and Seminar Modules. At least 6 CP each must be completed in modules on Theoretical Computer Science (marked with a "T") and Practical Computer Science ("P"). In addition, a maximum of 18 CP may be acquired in advanced modules. The scope of the study areas Compulsory Elective Modules in Computer Science, Profile Area Modules, and Practical and Seminar Modules must total 90 CP.
