Admission prerequisites
A Bachelor’s degree in a computer science-related subject is a prerequisite for admission to the Master’s degree program IS. You must have at least 60 ECTS credits acquired from the study of computer science-based subjects. Another prerequisite is successful participation in a selection interview, where you must achieve a grade of at least "pass" (4.0). As the lectures are conducted in English, excellent written and spoken English is an additional requirement.
If you are not able to provide complete evidence of the knowledge and skills stated above before starting your studies on the Master's degree program, but (due to the quality of your first degree and the result of the selection interview) it is to be expected that you will be able to complete the degree program successfully, you may be admitted: on the condition that you acquire the missing knowledge within one semester.

The degree program IS is offered in both the Winter and the Summer Semester. You need to submit your application by June 1 for the Winter Semester and December 1 for the Summer Semester.
