Programme structure

You can put together your individual curriculum. All offered modules and courses are assigned to the respective focus areas and count as compulsory elective modules ('Wahlpflichtmodule') or elective modules ('Wahlmodule'). You should choose one primary focus area and two secondary focus areas. You can currently choose from two primary focus areas:

• Information and Communication Systems
• IT Security and Reliability
• Intelligent Technical Systems

You may choose from five secondary focus areas (but you cannot choose the same focus area as both your primary and secondary focus areas)

• Information and Communication Systems
• IT Security and Reliability
• Algorithmics and Mathematical Modelling
• Programming and Software Systems
• Intelligent Technical Systems

The focus areas Algorithmics and Mathematical Modelling and Programming and Software Systems do not have a sufficient number of English-taught modules to be offered as primary focus area at the moment. However, you may study individual modules from that area as ‘freely selectable courses’ in accordance with the rules below.
