Computer science plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of modern life – from science and business to healthcare and entertainment. As a driving force for innovation and a key technology across various industries, it is indispensable in today’s world. 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.

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. If you are a refugee student or prospective student, we encourage you to directly contact the lecturer or instructor of subjects in which you are interested. Furthermore, you are always welcome to directly approach a research group working in a field of interest for you.

The Institute of Computer Science aims to support refugee scientists and students. Our faculty and research groups cover a broad range of disciplines in the field of computer science. Refugee scientists with an interest in one of these disciplines are encouraged to directly contact the corresponding unit.

Computer science research at the University of Augsburg offers a diverse range of specialisms and interdisciplinary research focuses. From artificial intelligence and big data to medical information sciences: our professorships and research groups cover a broad spectrum of current research questions and developments in computer science.
