The Program
This study program belongs to the School of Computer Science & Engineering*
Location: On Campus
The MSc Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is a 2-year, research-oriented Master’s program at Constructor University in Bremen, Germany. It combines perspectives from Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Robotics / Intelligent Systems, giving students opportunities to engage directly in research. It is designed to strengthen the academic pathway between Constructor University’s Bachelor’s and PhD programs.
The program combines advanced specialization with intensive research experience. It prepares students primarily for doctoral studies and also provides a strong foundation for careers in industry.
Students select one of six specialization tracks: Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Data Engineering, Communications and Signal Processing, or Intelligent Robots and Autonomous Driving. They keep the flexibility to broaden their profile through courses from other tracks or MSc programs
*Accreditation expected in Spring 2027

Program Overview
The Computer Science and Engineering program provides students with advanced technical education combined with intensive research experience. The curriculum combines advanced courses with three dedicated research projects and a Master’s thesis, so approximately one third of the program is devoted to active research. Students receive individual supervision and work on research questions connected to current faculty research.
Unlike a Master’s program focused on a single specialization, CSE brings multiple areas of Computer Science and Engineering together within one research-oriented program. Its distinctive strength is the combination of broad specialization options with intensive individual research supervision.
Students select one of six specialization tracks and can broaden their profile through courses from other tracks or other MSc programs:
- Software Engineering
- Cybersecurity
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Engineering
- Communications and Signal Processing
- Intelligent Robots and Autonomous Driving
At the end of the 2-year program, graduates will be able to:
- Apply advanced knowledge in computer science and electrical and computer engineering to understand, design, and develop complex systems and methods within their chosen area of specialization.
- Understand and critically evaluate current research findings, methods, and approaches in their chosen technical field, including their underlying principles, assumptions, capabilities, and limitations.
- Formulate relevant and original research questions, select appropriate methodologies, and independently conduct research projects that address complex technical problems.
- Design, implement, and systematically evaluate advanced systems and methods, using appropriate experimental or analytical approaches to produce rigorous and reproducible results.
- Plan and execute complex projects independently while managing time, resources, and technical constraints, both individually and as part of interdisciplinary teams.
- Integrate knowledge and methods from computer science and electrical and computer engineering to address complex interdisciplinary problems and develop innovative solutions.

Target Group
The MSc Computer Science and Engineering is for high-performing students with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field who want to continue toward a research career, typically a PhD.
The program welcomes strong applicants from other universities who meet the admission requirements. It is also open to Constructor University graduates from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, in particular from Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Robotics and Intelligent Systems. For them, it continues a seamless path from Bachelor’s to PhD.
Prospective students should demonstrate:
- A strong academic background in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
- An interest in advanced technical and scientific problems
- Motivation to engage in research and independent project work
- An interest in pursuing a PhD or research-oriented career
- The ability to work independently as well as in interdisciplinary teams
If a student’s previous academic background does not fully match their selected track, remedial core courses from the corresponding BSc programs can be integrated into the program structure.
Teaching approach
The program is designed around Constructor University’s strength in individual supervision and research-driven education, with the aim of moving students toward the frontiers of research. Students work closely with faculty on advanced research topics in an international academic environment. Master’s students also have opportunities to support undergraduate teaching and learning.
