Curriculum 2019

• Advanced Higher Mathematics
  • Mandatory for all students
  • only offered in winter semester

Dependening on your choice of specialization, you pick from different core module catalogues.
Over the course of the program you will take 5 x 6 ECTS modules spread fairly equally between computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE):

• 5 Core modules
  • min. 2 from the CS catalogue
  • min. 2 from the EE catalogue
    • Total of 30 ECTS

All specializations share the supplementary module catalogue.
Over the course of the program you will take 5 x 6 ECTS modules spread fairly equally between computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE):

• 5 Supplementary modules 
  • min. 2 from the CS catalogue
  • min. 2 from the EE catalogue
    • Total of 30 ECTS

You can choose one from the catalog of lab courses. You must have sufficient prior knowledge and/or are attending lectures (usually from the same institute) that are relevant to the lab you wish to take.  
Please note:  Prerequsites listed for a lab are required, so if the Lab has a prerequsite that you don't have either take the prerequsite course or choose another lab.  

You can only receive credit for Seminars and Labs included in the INFOTECH curriculum (found in C@mpus).
Make sure to check that the course is included in your curriculum BEFORE you register.

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.
The offerings might change between semesters and there might be special lab courses announced on the institute boards or in class. 

Labs offered by the Department of CS:

An information e-mail is usually sent every semester detailing the sign-up process and dates.

An overview of the seminars, advanced seminars and lab courses/practical courses offered by the CS department - and information on how to register - can be found here: https://www.f05.uni-stuttgart.de/en/cs/students/seminar-registration/

Seminars and advanced seminars:  you have to register on your own over C@mpus.  Spots are limited and are given on a first-come-first-served basis.  So be sure to sign up as soon as possible once the sign-up period is announced.

Lab courses: Sign up is done over ILIAS. You will have to create a ranking list of the labs you are interested in and an algorithm will then assign the labs.  More information about the process can be found in the link above.

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 graded, only pass/fail!

The Research Project is a 3 month project that gives students their first experience appying their theoretical knowledge in a practical context.

Students have the option of completing the project in the industry.  However, they need an INFOTECH advisor from Faculty 5 to support them.

As an alternative to the written project, students can choose to replace it with a 3 ECTS seminar and 2 x 6 ECTS modules.
The seminar for the replacement option can be found under 'Option B' of the 'Semi Compulsory Modules' under node [300] Supplementary Modules in C@mpus.

The 2 x 6 ECTS modules can be selected from either the core or supplementary module catalogues.

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.
