In your computer science study program, you will learn how to abstract problems from the real world so that a computer can help solve the problems. First, you have to teach the machine the issue it is addressing, the challenge it is facing and the desired results you want it to produce. On the path from problem to solution, computer scientists use mathematical methods and concepts to design algorithms and programs that the computer can use to help solve the issue.
Please note the list of courses in other subjects that are open for Computer Science students in the application area (fachfremder Bereich) (PDF).
[both documents in German only, due to German based study program]
Hint: Not all subjects use HISinOne as we do. If you can't find specific courses in your planner of studies in the application area (i.e. fachfremde Wahlmodule), please use the PDF list provided above to get an overview; then look up the details to the specific course (like times and rooms) in the course catalog: -freiburg.de, go to "Studies offered" and "Show university course catalog".
The web pages of the legal department contain all examination regulations.
The latest version applies to you, i.e. the one without further explanation/restriction in brackets.
Students who started their studies before WS 2018 can find the respective information under Module Handbooks and Exam Regulations under Studies and Teaching.
The large selection is praised especially in the areas of elective lectures and application courses. There is a "good mix of theoretical foundations and practical application" and the support is positively highlighted. Also, the opportunity to participate early on as Hiwi in jobs at the university and in research is applauded.
Lecture recordings for almost all compulsory courses and numerous special lectures offer flexibility in studying and help with proper exam preparation. With ILIAS all students have access to a personalized learning management system.
SMILE stands for smartphones in teaching and has seen the light of day in a project of students for students; it is used regularly in introductory lectures today. Campus-wide WiFi and a modern infrastructure are a matter of course at the Faculty of Engineering.
Studying engineering in Freiburg always means that you benefit from all three areas of research, no matter which area you choose. Smart, micro and green technologies are becoming more and more in demand - acquire the necessary competencies to solve the social and technical questions of the future as engineers and computer scientists!
As part of the 'System Design Project', the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Freiburg organizes a robotic competition every year. In this competition first semester students compete for the title of the fastest, most innovative and most creative robot. Usually groups of four Students work together, but for WS20/21 an easier task will have to be solved by each single student. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 circumstances, there will be no joint competition and students will be evaluated separately.
In WS19/20, the participants had to overcome the following challenge: their robots should complete a course as quickly as possible. They had to stop in front of a barrier where they were loaded with a ball, which had to be placed at the end of the train in a container. In addition, the robots were to turn in front of obstacles or push them out of the way.
From 2012 until 2021 the EMI team, who were funded within the framework of the 'Quality Pact for Teaching', offered a range of support services to teachers who communicate their expertise in English to a multilingual, multicultural student body. Their focus lay on individual and small group training measures to develop and enhance teachers' communicative language skills for teaching in English.
