Informatics

The science of informatics concerns the systematic, automatized processing of information. It is a constantly evolving discipline that deals with how information is structured, presented, and processed in both natural and high-tech computational systems. The bachelor's program in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich is exciting and challenging. Course content concerns not only informatics itself but also sustains a focus on its application. It offers you the opportunity to acquire solid theoretical, practical, and technical skills in this fast-moving field.

No other science has changed our lives and the way we work in the last 30 years more than informatics. Mobile phones, digital cameras and PCs have become everyday commodities within an incredibly short time span and the internet has very quickly become omnipresent. Decisive breakthroughs in medicine, automotive engineering, or aerospace were first made possible by informatics.
