Key facts

Throughout the Computer Science (Informatik) program from TU Berlin, students learn to deal with scientific problems. Seminars, projects and theses are embedded in ongoing reasearch at the the faculty. Colloquia and seminars offer access to ongoing research projects. Therefore graduates are qulified for autonomous work and challenging tasks in industry, science, administration and over all in leading positions.

Employment opportunities are manifold. Most computer scientists develop hardware and software systems in industry, commerce and administration. The percentage of IT companies is sinking in favor of IT using companies like technical producers (automobile, mechanical enginieering), banks, insurance, trade or administrations. Good analytic and communication skills of university graduates in computer science are also essential in consultancies. The studies especially qualify for positions in research and science, in public institutions as well as in research departments in the industry.
