University Of Freiburg - Faculty Of Applied Sciences:
The University of Freiburg is one of Gernany's oldest universities and looks back on a long tradition of excellence in teaching and research. The newest faculty is the Faculty of Applied Sciences which comprises the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Microsystems Engineering. These departments offer undergraduate and graduate programs to approximately 1,200 students.

The Department of Computer Science (IIF) has some 14 professors, approximately 110 research assistants, and a total of 17 research groups spread over six divisions. They cover a broad spectrum of teaching and research topics which range from computer graphics to artificial intelligence, from algorithmics to software technology, and from communication systems to applications in engineering and the life sciences. The IIF also takes part in large interdisciplinary research projects and is active in special areas of research on both a national and international level.

Master of Science in Computer Science / Applied Computer Science:
The 2 years’ master degree programs in computer science and applied computer science are taught in German and English, and have both been accredited by ASIIN. While the master program in computer science is mainly designed for graduates of the bachelor in computer science program at Freiburg University, the master program in applied computer science is open for graduates from other universities and from closely related fields of study.

Students will have courses in Computer Architecture, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Image Processing, Theory of Algorithms as well as Databases and Information Systems. In addition they can choose courses from the following concentration areas:

• Algorithms and Data Structures
• Programming Languages & Software Engineering
• Computer Architecture and Operating systems
• Communication and Data Management
• Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
• Computer Graphics and Vision

Finally, they can choose an application area such as Medicine, Bioinformatics or Microsystems Engineering.
