The University of Augsburg is actively contributing to this progress and has seen significant growth, partly due to its involvement in the Hightech Agenda Bavaria.?Our institute offers a wide range of interdisciplinary fields, opening up diverse paths for contributing to the future of computer science.
Information for international students
The Institute of Computer Science offers several Bachelor and Master degree programmes (see below "Study Programmes").?Most courses of our study programmes are taught in German and all full programmes require a very good command of the German language (see also below "Learning German"). However, we have a growing number of courses which are taught in English. Such courses can be found in the Module Catalogue for Exchange Studies (see below "Courses for Exchange Students"). Depending on individual circumstances, moreover, internships or other guest stays may be possible.
