Double Degree Master Programme in "Computer Science" & "Logic and Computation"

The double degree track is not an independent degree programme, but an optional part of the master's degree programme in Computer Science. It will provide LUH students with the possibility to put an emphasis on the areas of theoretical computer science and foundations of artificial intelligence. Students will obtain two degree certificates, the degree “Diplomingenieur/in” (Dipl.-Ing.) in “Logic and Computation” at TUW and the degree Master of Science (M. Sc.) in “Computer Science” at LUH, if they have successfully completed the DD programme.

Students will be awarded two separate diplomas by the parties according to their respective regulations. Each degree certificate will state that the master programme was completed under an agreement on a double degree programme and that therefore both certificates are only valid in combination with the degree certificate of the partner institution.

After completion of the first semester´s study plan at LUH, students will continue their studies at the partner university TU Wien. The participants will spend their second and third or their third and fourth semester at the partner institution. In the second case, the master thesis will also be completed at TU Wien. The study guidelines require that all students attain a total of a minimum of 50 ECTS at the host institution.

Prior to transferring to the host university, double degree students will receive a mandatory study counselling by the responsible academic representative of the home university. For the appropriate structure of the study abroad, a study plan will be compiled in consultation with the academic advisor.

The double degree programme is not an independent degree programme, but an optional part of the master's degree programme in Computer Science.

You are applying for the master's degree programme in Computer Science at Leibniz University Hannover. After successful admission, you will study the master's programme for one semester and can then start the double degree programme. The programme is designed for five students per academic year. Candidates are selected via an internal procedure. In addition to a personal interview, the following documents must be submitted:

• Degree Certificate (B. Sc.),
• Transcript of Records,
• personal motivation letter and
• proof of knowledge of English, which is determined by the respective admission regulations for the subject of study of the participating institutions.

For further information please contact Prof. Vollmer.

You have to pay the students' union fee - the so-called ÖH fee -  for the first-time admission to a study programme during the admission period and for the continued registration of the study programme every semester within the continuation period. Admission and continued enrolment are only completed once the ÖH fee has been paid. The ÖH fee is not part of the tuition fee and must be paid by all students every semester without exception.

The double degree programme takes place exclusively in English. To apply for a degree programme, you must have reached at least language level C1. A proof has to be submitted with your application of the double degree programme.

Further information about English language certification you will find on the Leibniz Language Center.

Your stay abroad will be treated like an Erasmus stay, and you will obtain the usual funding from this programme. For more information, please contact Prof. Vollmer.
