Master's Thesis Computer Science
In the Master's Programme Computer Science 2021W a Master’s Thesis amounting to 25 ECTS must be written. The Master’s Thesis is a scientific piece of work that proves the ability to work on a scientific topic independently and in a justifiable way in terms of content and methodology.
If a specialisation (in-depth study) is selected, the Master’s Thesis must be allocable to the topical field of the specialisation.
