Visiting students at the Department of Computer Science have access to a wide range of internationally recognized Bachelor's and Master's courses taught by first-class professors and lecturers. In addition, you benefit from modern teaching and learning resources such as rentable study rooms, smart boards, computer pools and an e-learning platform where you can access your course materials from anywhere. There is also plenty of social interaction between students. Whether at regular barbecues, karaoke or games evenings organized by the student council, interesting lectures by the alumni association or in one of the many working groups on the topics of FOSS, film, games, game development and much more: guest students can quickly become part of the community in Dortmund and thus make their own semester abroad a unique cultural, academic and personal experience. The university-wide International Office also offers a wide range of support services for incoming students, such as intensive German courses, language courses during the semester, academic support and assistance in finding accommodation and dealing with the authorities.

Interested in a temporary study visit? Students from universities from existing partnerships (e.g. Erasmus+) can simply apply and register via the relevant channels or persons, otherwise please use the general contact channels. 

In principle, incoming students can also attend courses from other faculties such as Statistics, Economics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. Some of the respective Master's degree programs, such as Automation & Robotics or Data Science, are very closely related to Computer Science (and are sometimes even run by our faculty). As such, many additional English courses related to computer science can be found in these degree programs - more information on the study options can be found here.
