About this programme
Students may choose one programme specialisation from one of two concentrations: 1. Systems-Oriented Concentration Applied Systems Development Applied Systems Development with a concentration in Bioinformatics Geoinformatics Ecological Informatics Medical Informatics Law and Computer Science Business Informatics Scientific Computing Computational Neuroscience Digital Humanities 2. Application-Oriented Concentration Bioinformatics Geoinformatics Ecological Informatics Medical Informatics Law and Computer Science Business Informatics Scientific Computing Computational Neuroscience Digital Humanities Data Science The Master's programme encompasses 120 ECTS credit points (CP). These 120 CP are divided among the following fields – Core Curriculum (24 CP), Area of Professionalisation (66 CP), Master's thesis (30 CP). Detailed information can be found in the exam and study regulations and in the module catalogue, which is available here: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/40964.html. The Master's programme does not include any mandatory study modules. Instead, students arrange with their mentor individually tailored, goal-oriented course schedules within the scope of the study and examination regulations. In the Core Curriculum, students acquire deeper knowledge of systems-oriented computer science in order to develop the professional skills to apply and expand the specialised methods of the discipline. In the Area of Professionalisation, students have the opportunity to choose between Systems-Oriented Concentration and Application-Oriented Concentration tailored to their individual and professional inclinations as well as professional ambitions, and to acquire core job-specific and interdisciplinary skills. While 48 CP are selected from Applied Computer Science or the field of specialisation in the Application-Oriented Concentration, 30 CP are selected from Applied Computer Science or the field of specialisation and at least 15 CP may be selected from the Computer Science Core in the Systems-Oriented Concentration. The Area of Professionalisation includes an additional 12 CP key qualifications and competences as well as an elective area of 6 CP.

Prerequisites
As a requirement for admission to the Master's degree programme, the applicant must have completed at least a six-semester degree programme with conferral of a Bachelor's degree in a degree programme in "Computer Science", or in a closely related discipline comprising at least 180 ECTS credits. The conferral of an equivalent degree earned in a degree programme completed at a German university or a university situated in one of the Bologna signatory states also meets the requirements for admission. As a prerequisite for the appropriateness of past academic achievements, proof of at least 90 credits in computer science, applied computer science, foundations in mathematics, and foundations in natural science must be furnished. It is necessary to provide proof of at least 60 credits in computer science and applied computer science and at least 15 credits in the foundations of mathematics and natural science. All international applicants are required to take an online aptitude test, which examines a wide range of topics in computer science. A few days after the end of the application period, the test and personal login credentials will be sent to all applicants via e-mail. Furthermore, all applicants who are on the shortlist for the programme will be invited to a personal interview, conducted as a video call.
