Master of Science in Computer Science and Communications Engineering (M.Sc. CSCE)
winter and summer semester
4 semesters (2 years)
Campus Duisburg
Accredited by ASIIN
The Master Degree Course „ Computer Science and Communications Engineering” combines the in the past often separated knowledge domains “informatics” and “communication technology”. The graduates are procured with competences in deep understanding of modern systems in the information and communication technology domains and their interdependency or connection with the needs of the customers and of the society in general. Computer technology and software development are in this course just as important as the electronic system components.
The graduates will receive the ability to independently understand the development, the implementation, the rating and the interconnection of such systems. Above all, they will be able to master their functionality and their application areas, and as a superior in a given company, be able to communicate and interact with customers, colleagues and public authorities.
Besides deepen lectures in the field of electrical engineering, informatics, information and communication technology, follows a specialization acquired in specific lectures from data processing, information technology and communication networking domains. Graduates provide themselves interesting job perspectives in leading positions in the IT-world, as well as the possibility of doctoral studies in German or in foreign universities.
The field of activity of the graduates mainly lies in the intersection of information and communication technology and communication networking in the sense of a synthesis of computer and telecommunications and their implication in the development of new systems and services. All this results in the following areas of activities:
Potential employers are small and medium-sized enterprises including international companies as well. Other job possibilities would be a leading position in small and medium-sized enterprises as well as freelancing e.g. as a consulting engineer or even self-employment e.g. in the development of specific system solutions.
The M.Sc. programme has been completed when the following 120 ECTS credits have been acquired:
- 90 ECTS credits from the tested modules comprising the compulsory and elective course units, consisting of
- 27 ECTS credits for the M.Sc. dissertation and
- 3 ECTS credits for the M.Sc. dissertation colloquium.
