Master of Computer Science 

Programme overview

The Master of Computer Science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is a master's-level programme in Computer Science, taught full-time on campus in Karlsruhe, Germany. Award type: Master's degree (taught). The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT; German: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie) is both a German public research university in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, and a research center of the Helmholtz Association. KIT was created in 2009 when the University of Karlsruhe (TH) (German: Universität Karlsruhe (TH)), founded in 1825 as a public research university and also known as the "Fridericiana", merged with the Karlsruhe Research Center (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe), which had originally been established in 1956 as a national nuclear research center (Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe, or KfK). By combining academic education with large-scale non-university research, KIT integrates research, teaching, and innovation in a single institutional structure that is unique within the German research landscape. KIT is a member of the TU9, an alliance of nine leading technical universities in Germany.

Key skills: Problem solving, coding in industry languages, system design and working in agile teams. Module lists vary by university; the official curriculum is the reference.
