General Study Structure
The study structure and necessary amount of credits per module category is the same for all three specializations, while the concrete catalog of available choices for core and supplementary modules differs. The general structure below shows the mandatory credit amounts in the different module categories (according to the Study Regulation 2019 annex). For the exact catalogs of available choices the module handbook and information available on c@mpus take precedence. Only modules listed on c@mpus can be taken.
- Advanced Higher Mathematics
Dependening on your choice of specialization, you pick from different catalogs of core and supplementary modules. You choose 10 modules (each 6CP) in roughly equal parts from computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE):
- 2+ core modules from each CS and EE for a total of 30CP
- 2+ supplementary modules from each CS and EE for a total of 30CP
Additionally a Research Project (15CP).
If no topic is found, the project can be replaced by a Seminar (3CP) plus two additional choices from the full catalog of core and supplementary modules (each 6CP).
There is a small set of supplementary modules that are only worth 3CP. These are recommended for the first semester as they cover general concepts. A maximum of two 3CP modules can be picked for your studies, replacing one 6CP supplementary module.
Your spezialization module selections must total 75CP at the end of your studies.
You choose one from the list independent of your specialization. The offerings might change between semesters and there might be special lab courses announced on the institute boards or in class.
You have to register and receive a seat for the lab course to take part! Please avoid doing more than one lab course during your studies as spots are limited!
Labs have to be registered twice: for the seat with the institute offering it within the deadline AND on C@mpus during the regular exam registration period to receive the grade.
For both availability and registration check the lists on the pinboards of the institutes, online-registering systems etc.
Labs offered by the Department of CS:
Registration takes place online one semester in advance. The offer varies from year to year and is announced in a separate email.
Labs offered by the Department of ETIT:
See the institutes' webpages and pinboards before the new semester starts
You choose one of the following independent of your specialization:
- Information and Contract Law
- Business Management and Administration
- Technology and Innovation Management
- Academic Writing for Master's Students (INFOTECH)
Non-Technical Modules are not marked, only passed/not passed!
The Master Thesis is a 6 month (1 semester) project at the end of the program. You choose a topic from the institute offerings or in collaboration with a professor/supervisor.
Study Plan
Courses recommended for the first semester
Here is a selection of supplementary modules that we recommended taking in the first semester as they provide the basic foundation for their respective area. You can only chose a maximum of two 3 CP supplementary modules (replacing one 6CP module).
Module | Department Assignment |

Radio Frequency Technology: Introduction | EE | 3 | WS |
Electronic Circuits | EE | 3 | WS |
Communications | EE | 6 | WS |
Computer Architecture and Organization | CS | 6 | WS |
Operating Systems | CS | 6 | WS |
Information about lab courses and seminar choice
During your studies you will take one lab course and potentially a seminar (as replacement for the research project). You have to register and receive a seat for labs and seminars to take part! Please avoid doing more than one lab during your studies (also not voluntarily) since seats are limited!
Labs and seminars have to be registered twice: for the seat with the institute offering it within the deadline AND on c@mpus during the regular exam registration period to receive the grade.
For both availability and registration check the lists on the pinboards of the institutes, online-registering systems etc.
Labs and seminars offered by the Department of CS:
Registration takes place online one semester in advance. The offer varies from year to year and is announced in a separate email.
Labs and seminars offered by the Department of EEIT:
