The Master’s Degree in “Information Technology” follows on from the skills acquired duringthe Bachelor’s Degree course in “Information Technology”. It serves to provide academic professional training and qualification for occupations in the field of the development and operation of modern information and communication technologies. There are six topical subject specialisations in the field of information and communication technology to choose from:
(a) Mobile and wireless systems
(b) Intelligent transportation systems
(c) Pervasive computing
(d) Media engineering
(e) Embedded systems
(f) Applied mechatronics
Alongside subject specialisation, the course of studies also permits methodological specialisation. Depending on the student’s interests, a Research, Entrepreneurship or Industrial Track can be selected. Thus, with the target field of activity in mind, individual specialisations can be chosen systematically and flexibly.
Graduates of the Master’s Degree course will act as experts in their specialist fields while at the same time having a broad subject and methodological knowledge in the field of information and communication technology. They will identify and understand new kinds of problems and develop problem solutions systematically and independently. They will also be able to further develop the concepts and methods of information technology and to recognise technical paradigm changes. As managerial staff, they will be able to lead development teams and manage complex projects. Particular attention is placed on graduates’ ability to contribute to the solution of technical projects independently and responsibly without neglecting the holistic point of view, i.e. by including disciplines from outside the field of information technology (e.g. informatics, mechanical engineering, environment issues, business management, gender issues) in their solutions.
As examples, graduates will find demanding employment opportunities as specialists and managerial staff in the following fields:
- Research and development
- Project management
- Concept and production
- Activation
- Patents
- Technical consulting and management consulting
