Visiting Dortmund

Visiting students at the Department of Computer Science may attend a wide range of internationally recognized bachelor's and master's courses taught by first-class professors and lecturers. In addition, you will benefit from modern teaching and learning resources such as modern study rooms, smart boards, computer pools, and an e-learning platform where you can access your course materials from anywhere. You will also have the chance to be social and find like-minded people at the department. Whether at regular BBQ events, karaoke or game nights organized by the Fachschaft Informatik, interesting lectures held by the alumni association or in one of the many clubs on the topics of FOSS, cinema, games, game development, etc.: Guest students can quickly become part of the community in Dortmund and can turn their semester abroad into a unique cultural, academic and personal experience they’ll never forget. The International Office, which is responsible for the entire university, also offers a wide range of support services for incoming students, such as German intensive crash courses, semester-long language courses, academic support and assistance in finding accommodation and dealing with the German authorities. 

Would you like to complete a full degree of study in Dortmund? Then please refer to the central information for international applicants.

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

 

Computer Science Courses in English

The complete course catalog of our faculty can be found here (in the module handbooks of the individual degree programs), but most of the courses are in German. Our English lectures and other courses are listed below, but they are not offered every semester. Most courses take place annually in the summer or winter semester. In the LSF you can find all courses offered in the semester of the previous year (adjustable at the top right) - in most cases these modules are also offered in the following year. This will be checked before the Learning Agreement is signed from our side.

Disclaimer: Visiting students can only participate in exceptional cases, since registration usually takes place several months before project start.

Courses of Other Faculties

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.
