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.
Methods and tools for software development are developed at the Institute for Software Technology (IST) in the Department of Computer Science at Koblenz University. It is the contact point for industry for the development and use of software and offers further training measures and advice in all areas of software technology. Special emphasis is placed on compliance with non-functional requirements, e.g. in IT security, as well as compliance, e.g. in relation to data protection and anti-discrimination regulations. Particular focus is placed on the health sector, as well as trustworthiness and explainability in the use of AI.
The Institute for Web Science and Technologies (WeST) conducts research on many topics related to modern Web technologies and publishes research papers at leading conferences and high-ranking journals. We pursue foundational and technical advancements in fields such as Semantic Web, Information Retrieval and Web Engineering with the aim of better understanding the Web's impact on our society.
