MSE Study at the Institute of applied Information Technology (InIT)
The Institute for applied Information Technology (InIT) offers 30-40 master study places for the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE). You can study at InIT in the profiles "Computer Science", "Data Science" and from autumn semester 24 also in the profile "Information and Cyber Security".
Two thirds of your MSE study will take place at our institute. Here you will work on our research and development projects in your specialization area in collaboration with industrial partners. Furthermore, you can participate in the specialized supplementary modules offered by our institute below. You can study the MSE fulltime or part-time. For part-time students we offer the possibility to work at our institute as research assistants.
Individual specialization is possible in all five research groups of InIT:
- Distributed Systems: Cloud Computing, Cyber-Physical Applications
- Human-Centered Computing: Mobile Computing, ICT-Accessibility
- Information Security: Software Security, Cyber Attacks and Defense
- Intelligent Information Systems: Big Data and Nano Data, Data Understanding
- Software Engineering: Automated Software Generation, Automation for the Software Development Life Cycle
