TU Darmstadt's English-taught Computer Science master, with specializations in Data Science & Engineering, Visual Computing and Complex Networked Systems (the third name is inconsistent between the German and English department pages — verify before quoting it). It is a separate programme from the German-taught Informatik master (4.0★ on StudyCheck) — the two are not the same degree and should never be conflated.
Admission requirements
- Prior degree
- Bachelor in computer science or a closely related field (ECTS/subject relevance assessed)
- Minimum grade
- not confirmed
- English
- TOEFL, IELTS, UNIcert or TOEIC accepted (a notably broad list — TOEIC is rarely accepted elsewhere).Aggregator figures cluster around IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL iBT 92; exact official per-programme threshold not confirmed.
- German
- not required
- Also required
- Eignungsfeststellung (Assessment of Suitability) with no capacity limit — the Computer Science department states every applicant meeting the academic, language and formal requirements is admitted (unlike NC/competitive admission at the other five universities profiled). A GRE or GATE score can substitute for parts of the assessment — GATE is India's national engineering entrance exam, a cheaper, more accessible route than GRE for Indian applicants; exact exemption thresholds not confirmed. APS required for Indian applicants. ⚠ For this department the signed paper application and all required documents must ARRIVE by post before the deadline — submitting online alone is not sufficient; allow courier time plus a buffer of about three weeks.
