Studies
Students with school or university degrees from abroad must fulfil additional requirements and may have to go through a separate application process.
Here you will find all relevant information about starting your studies, organizing your studies, examinations and our advisory services.
Students from abroad who would like join Koblenz University for an exchange semester can take courses in computer science and economics at our department.
Dissertation and Habilitation
The doctoral programme is aimed at outstanding diploma and master's graduates. The doctorate is intended to demonstrate a special scientific qualification. The Department of Computer Science awards two different doctoral degrees: the Doctor of Natural Sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) for research related to computer science and the Doctor of Economic and Social Sciences (Dr. rer. pol.) for research related to management.
With the habilitation, academics prove that they can independently represent a subject in research and teaching.
Research
Our special feature lies in our broad and closely interlinked spectrum: Core Informatics, Computational Visualistics, Software Engineering, Web & Data Science, Business Informatics and Digital Business Management are institutionalized in a joint department.
This opens up interdisciplinary and multi-perspective approaches to computer science: “Data Intelligence” is our primary and overarching profile topic. It stands for the combination of data and artificial intelligence to support ever new applications.
Institutes and People
The two focal points of computational visualistics are the computer and the visual; we deal with these in research and teaching as well as in practical applications in our laboratories. At the Institute for Computational Visualistics, research is conducted on topics such as image generation, image comprehension and natural language artificial intelligence.
The Institute of Computer Science covers the classical areas of computer science with Theoretical, Practical and Technical Computer Science and forms the core of computer science research and computer science education at Department 4: Computer Science.
In research and teaching, the Institute of Management deals with the fundamental issues of business administration and economics. The research activities are bundled in the research focus "Digital Transformation". This means that the research focus is on change processes through digitalisation in business management.
Information systems research is about the methods and techniques to support the design, the implementation and the commercial use of information and communication systems in businesses and administrations, as well as the resulting changes in organizational structures. Accordingly, there is a wide range of different issues and solution concepts which our individual research groups are focused on.

The Faculty Council advises and decides on matters of fundamental importance to the department. The first Council of the Faculty 4: Computer Science at the new Koblenz University was elected for the legislative period 2023 to 2025.
Once a doctoral candidate has completed his or her dissertation, he or she submits it to the doctoral committee of the Faculty 4: Computer Science, which reviews the dissertation and decides whether the doctoral candidate may use the title "Dr.".
This examination board is responsible for all examination matters of the B.Sc. (except Computational Social Science) and M.Sc. degree programmes of the Department of Computer Science.
The committee for Studies and Teaching of the Faculty 4: Computer Science is particularly concerned with the issues of study objectives, forms and structures, ensuring the range of courses and the organisation of teaching, as well as quality assurance.
The library committee of the Faculty 4: Computer Science decides on the budget allocation of the department with regard to the acquisition of literature and is in close contact with the library administration.
The senate and the departmental council may appoint representatives for specific tasks.
