What is a Study Area?
The curriculum of the master's programs of Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science (Informatik) (CS(I)), Electrical Engineering (ET) and Information Systems Management (Wirtschaftsinformatik) (ISM(WI)) is structured in study areas. A study area accumulates modules of different chairs (Fachgebiete) under a specific focus to provide a professional deepening and profiling. As well there will be a better orientation in the study area within the module offerings of Faculty IV.
