About

Digitalization is increasingly altering our lives today - our working lives, our leisure time, and our daily routines. Future generations will be operating in an environment even more influenced by IT than our own. The masters program in Computer Science at TU Berlin equips graduates with the skills required to actively and consciously contribute in their professional lives to the shaping of this environment. The range of modules offered in the professionally oriented masters program is particularly broad and addresses current and innovative issues of computer science, enabling students to focus on a wide range of areas of specialization. English is now not only the technical language but also very much the working language of IT. The Faculty has therefore decided to offer this masters program in English to help students prepare for a career in an international environment in the age of globalization. Our international perspective also attracts many students from abroad, creating a cosmopolitan environment in which to study.

Building upon knowledge and skills gained in your bachelors program, the masters degree allows you to develop expertise in the methods, approaches, and technologies of computer science. You deepen your technical knowledge and gain an insight into current research topics in the various fields involved, with seminars, projects, and the masters thesis all very closely linked to the latest research work.

As a graduate of this program, you possess the core skills of computer science, such as the analysis, abstraction, and formal definition of problems as well as the computer-assisted implementation of solution strategies and the ability to apply these skills to solve specific problems, including the development of algorithms and programs in distributed, networked, and embedded systems, the analysis and manipulation of extremely large data quantities, and the modeling of fundamental aspects of information systems. You also have a thorough knowledge of sub-areas of computer science and are able to adapt existing methods.

However, you also acquire knowledge and skills beyond these technical fields: The program further equips you with the skills to make sense of complex ideas and to present and communicate these effectively, to conduct your work with social responsibility, to participate in interdisciplinary, multi-cultural teams as well as develop outstanding social and communication skills. As a graduate of the program you can either immediately start your career or pursue a doctorate.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

As for every other masters degree program at TU Berlin, applicants to the Computer Science masters program must possess a first university degree qualifying them for professional work. For the Computer Science program this should be a first university degree qualifying you for professional work taken in a subject within the field of computer science or a closely related program. The minimum requirements are that a program contains the following elements:

A total of 36 credit points in the fundamentals of computer science, with

12 credit points in theoretical computer science,
12 credit points in computer engineering or information technology,
12 credit points in methodological-practical computer science.

18 credit points in mathematics, with a minimum of 30 further credit points in computer science. The bachelors thesis may not be used to make up these 30 credit points.

Full details, including the subject-specific and language level requirements which you need to prove when applying, are available in the application regulations.

You can also find important information on the admission requirements on the program's website.

The masters program is taught in English. Applicants are therefore required to provide proof of English skills at CEFR level B2. Please see here for a list of recognized proofs of language level.

my.uni-assist.de

Step 2

Please select your desired Master’s degree program from the list of study programs offered in the respective semester. You can use the search window or restrict the search criteria so as the study programs currently offered at TU Berlin will be presented to you (semester, university, type of degree via Advanced search).

Please select the semester you want to apply for which is usually the 1^st(starting semester of your studies). You can only apply for a higher semester if you have been enrolled and obtained credits from a previous Master’s degree program (for more information see below).

As you can apply for only one Master’s degree program per semester, please inform in advance which program is suitable for you and if you will meet the content-related/specific entry requirements of your desired study program. Please see our study options for detailed information on each study program.

Step 3

Fill in the application form. Make sure that your answers to the application-related questions are correct and truthful.

You can see your application form via “My Applications” > “My Application Overview” in your personal My assist account.

Step 4

Upload your documents (see the checklist below). Please give your documents an unambiguous namein German or English.

Via “My Applications” > “My Documents” you can upload and see the uploaded documents (see checklist below).

Please upload PDF files exclusively (max. 10 MB in size for each document)
Sort and scan your documents in the right order according to page numbers (e.g. transcript)
Upload different documents in separate files (e.g. High School Diploma and copy of passport/ID)
Please upload each document only once and choose a suitable file name (e.g. Bachelor’s degree certificate)

Attention: Uploaded documents cannot be deleted afterwards.

In case you have to scan your documents while not having a scanner at your disposal, you can also use a free scanning app on your smartphone.

TU Berlin reserves the right to request officially certified copies on a random basis or in reasoned suspected cases for enrolment.

Please do not send your documents as hard copies to uni-assist or TU Berlin in addition to the uploading.

Please mind the application deadlines (cut-off periods). Documents that are submitted after the application deadline will not be considered.

Please send your application only if your documents are complete. We kindly ask you to refrain from submitting further/additional documents at a later point in time, if possible.

If a subsequent submission of documents is absolutely necessary to meet the formal or content-related/specific entry requirements, you have the following option:

Uni-assist has not processed your application yet and the application period is still running: Upload the missing or updated documents onto your My assist account.
Uni-assist has already processed and forwarded your application to TU Berlin. The application period is still running: In this case, upload the documents to be submitted later via the upload form, stating your uni-assist application number as well as the requested personal information. You will receive a confirmation email when we have received your documents.

As an uni-assist applicant, you do not need to register via the online portal of the TU Berlin. Therefore, you do NOT have to register via the online registration, but enter the application number of uni-assist.

3. The application deadline has expired: Subsequent submission is not possible.

Further procedure:

Uni-assist will pre-review your application according to the criteria set by TU Berlin.

If your application fulfils the criteria, it will be forwarded to TU Berlin as soon as possible for further processing.

If your application is incomplete, you will be informed by uni-assist. Provided the application period is still running, you can complete your application until the application deadline.

TU Berlin will then carry out a final review of your application with regard to the formal criteria. You will not receive any notification from the TU Berlin that your application has been received or processed. We ask you here to refrain from enquiries and to check the status of your application in the portal.

The examinations board of the faculty will then verify your application to see if you meet the content-related/specific entry requirements.

For the Master’s degree programs with restrictions on admission, a selection procedure will normally take place.

At the end of the procedure, you will receive a letter of admission or rejection from us. You will find the letter of admission in tuPORT after successful admission, the letter of rejection will be sent by mail.

Via this portal you can see the current status of your application provided it has already been forwarded to TU Berlin by uni-assist.
