Pioneering spirit meets practical application: Experience the fascination of computer science at our department.

Department of Computer Science at TU Dortmund University

The Department of Computer Science  in Dortmund was one of the first university computer science institutions in Germany. Today, it is one of the largest computer science departments nationwide and thus offers a specialized spectrum of computer science that only a few locations in Germany can boast.

In all computer science degree programs, the department educates students on the current state of the art in theory and practice, preparing them for an exciting professional life in a rapidly evolving discipline. In addition to practical training through internships, specialized projects and project groups, the department places great emphasis on intensive personal support in theoretical courses through tutorials, help desks and small practice groups.

The proximity to the Technology Center also offers opportunities for research collaborations, internships or career entry.
