Computer Science for Digital Media

Overview

The Computer Science for Digital Media programme offered by Bauhaus University Weimar adopts an integrative approach based on two fundamental concepts:

Study of a selection of primary subject areas: media security, data mining, information retrieval, machine learning, visual analytics, optimization, mathematical modelling, mobile media, human-computer interfaces, usability, graphics, computer vision and visualisation.

Acquisition of soft skills through a project-based study approach including active training of scientific communication, presentation and writing skills in small groups.

Research profile

• The imparted knowledge of many courses is strongly oriented around the current research of the professorships and provides profound theoretical foundations supplemented by current research questions and results.
• Scientifically-oriented seminars and projects demand a high degree of independent development of scientific knowledge and provide career-relevant key qualifications. The projects provide a framework for students to propose, implement and defend first independent research initiatives.
• Students are regularly involved in current research and development projects during their projects, theses and as student assistants.
• Access to scientific literature (online / on-site) for students is good and the selection available in the library is continually updated by the professors.
