Courses

We offer a diverse range of course in visual computing. This is complemented by a large number of general computer science courses within the Department of Computer Science and those offered at Otto-von-Guericke-Universität in general.

B
elow you find a sample study plan (colors indicate research directions within visual computing):
 
new_msc_visualcomputing_samplestudyplan

The plan provides you with an overview of the courses that are available and it is not a recommended study plan. In particular, many students will want to focus on one area of ​​visual computing (such as visualization, computer graphics, computer vision or augmented and virtual reality) after the first semester. We also require every student to take in total 30 credit points outside of visual computing either in other areas of computer science or by taking courses offered at other departments at Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg.

The formal course requirements of the Master in Visual Computing are as follows (see also the study regulations):
  • Visual computing: 36-66 CP
  • General computer science: 18-42 CP
  • General methods and skills: 6-12 CP

 

Below you find a list of visual computing courses typically offered once a year (this is subject to change and the actual offering will differ from year to year).
