Accommodation The cities of Erlangen, Fürth, and Nuremberg offer a very good standard of living. They are popular
places to live, meaning that accommodation is in high demand but often in short supply. This is
particularly the case during the period before the start of a new semester. We therefore recommend
that you start looking for accommodation as soon as possible. If you are flexible and also look in
the surrounding area, you will have a better chance of finding somewhere affordable to live. The
region has an excellent public transport system, so you should not have any problems getting to
your place of study or work.
It is worth checking the available accommodation on the Internet every day, as new
accommodation becomes available on a day-to-day basis. It pays to be flexible when it comes to
the price, location, and available facilities of your accommodation.
Student Services Erlangen-Nürnberg runs its ownstudent accommodation in Erlangen and

Nuremberg. You will be informed about how to apply for a room in Student Services
accommodation while you are in the process of applying to be admitted to FAU.

Founded in 1743, FAU has a rich history. It is a strong research university with an international perspective and one of the largest
universities in Germany with 38,878 students, 265 degree programmes, 4,000 academic staff (including over 603 professors),210.7 million
EUR third-party funding, and 500 partnerships with universities all over the world. Teaching at the university is closely linked to research
and focuses on training students in both theory and practice to enable them to think critically and work independently. The research itself
also strikes the perfect balance between a theoretical approach and practical application.
FAU’s outstanding research and teaching is reflected in top positions in bothnational and international rankings as well as the high
amount of DFG funding that its researchers are able to secure.
University location
FAU’s two main sites, the cities of Erlangen and Nuremberg, are located at the heart of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Both Erlangen,
a city of 100,000 inhabitants that was the former home of the Huguenots and is a key location for Siemens, and Nuremberg, a city with a
metropolitan flair and a population of half a million, have their own unique charms. The opera, theatre, and museums, along with a lively
pub scene and nightlife, offer plenty of opportunities to relax after a day in the lecture theatre, lab, or library. The highlights of the cultural
calendar in Erlangen include the Hörkunstfestival (acoustic art festival), International Comic Salon, figuren.theater.festival (puppet theatre
festival), Poetenfest (poetry festival), and the "ARENA… of the young arts" theatre and performance festival. A wide range of cultural
institutions open their doors to visitors during the Blue Night in Nuremberg, and once every two years, the Long Night of Sciences gives the
public a chance to take a look inside research institutions in Erlangen, Nuremberg, and Fürth. In summary, the mixture of academia,
innovative companies, art, and culture makes the region the perfect place for creative minds. There is also plenty on offer for keen athletes
and nature lovers. Fränkische Schweiz, a paradise for climbers and walkers, is located to the north of Erlangen and is at FAU’s doorstep.
Water sports enthusiasts will love the Franconian lakes and the university’s water sports centre, which is located just south of Nuremberg.

PhD programme

programme
Description/content Data science is becoming a key concept/competency for large private businesses, public
institutions, and research. While it is not easy to define data science in a few words, data science
deals with the methods and tools needed to analyse (large amounts of) data and draw actionable
42
conclusions from the results gained in the process. These methods and tools (covering big data and
their analysis, data modelling, machine learning, and simulation methods) are located at the
intersection of three subjects: computer sciences, mathematics, and statistics. Consequently, this
new Master's programme at Trier University is jointly taught by lecturers from the fields of
computer sciences, mathematics, and statistics (whereas other data science programmes typically
only cover one or two of these fields). This ensures that graduates will have a broad knowledge of
the discipline and will be able to approach actual problems from different angles. They will also be
trained to be life-long learners, able to rapidly adapt to changing demands in their working
environments.
In the first semester of this multidisciplinary programme, propaedeutics courses make sure that
students coming from different study backgrounds will be able to successfully follow the
programme. State-of-the-art e-learning concepts (e.g., flipped classrooms, electronic tutorials, etc.)
engage students and offer additional flexibility regarding learning periods. A small research project
is a compulsory part of the programme. During this project, students will apply their acquired
knowledge to real world problems and learn to approach these problems with scientific methods.
The project also serves to strengthen the students' soft skills.
A broad choice of courses (including other subjects like economics, environmental sciences, etc.)
enables students to tailor their course of study to their specific needs and targeted working
environments.
Students will be able to earn a double Master's degree in combination with computer sciences,
business informatics, applied mathematics, business mathematics, or applied statistics.
The MSc in Data Science also serves as a solid foundation for future PhD students in the related
fields.
Course Details
Course organisation The Master's programme covers the following module types:
Compulsory modules:
Introductory courses (e.g. Big Data Analytics, Data and Web Mining, Numerical Optimisation for
Data Science, Statistical Methods of Data Science) as well as propaedeutics courses
Elective modules within the following specialisation tracks:
Algorithmic Optimisation, Applied Statistics, Data and Knowledge Systems, Financial Economics,
Geoinformatics, Simulation Studies
Research case studies
Master's thesis
Types of assessment The methods of assessment range from written exams through oral exams and term papers to the
presentation of scientific posters. For details, please consult the current examination regulations.

Trier University was founded in 1473, and it reopened in 1970 as a modern campus university. Built on a high plateau overlooking the
Moselle River and surrounded by luscious green nature, it is said to be one of Germany's most beautiful campuses. Faculty and
departmental buildings are connected by bridges and grouped around the forum and the central library.
Trier University has a strong focus on the humanities, social sciences, and economics, but it is also steadily strengthening its environmental
science programmes. There are six faculties that together cover more than 30 subject areas. Many research projects are interdisciplinary in
nature and embedded in global networks.
With its roughly 1,200 employees and 12,000 students (including more than 11% international students), Trier University embraces
contrast: young yet true to tradition, internationally oriented yet regionally rooted, and at the geographic edge of Germany but in the heart
of Europe.
http://www.uni-trier.de
University location
Trier is situated in the western part of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate in the Moselle Valley. The city is proud of its rich history,
which is reflected in its museums and its many historical sites. Thanks to its landmarks, the Porta Nigra, the Trier Cathedral, and other
significant architectural monuments, Germany's oldest city was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.
Today's cityscape is a fusion of history and modern lifestyle, not least characterised by a vibrant student life. With bars, cafés, and a
colourful range of cultural offerings and festivals, Trier is a tourist attraction with international appeal and a beautiful place for the city's
110,000 residents to live.
The economy of the city is characterised by a few major enterprises and many medium-sized businesses. Trier is in the heart of Europe, as
evidenced by its proximity to Luxembourg, which is an important financial centre and the site of several EU institutions, as well as its
proximity to France and Belgium. Nine twin towns and cities across Europe, Asia, and the USA attest to Trier's international orientation.

Description/content The Visual Computing Master's programme is coordinated by the Department of Computer Science
at Saarland University, one of the four best computer science departments in Germany (CHE
ranking).
49
Saarland University was the first place in Germany where one can study in such an integrated
Master's programme. It has an excellent research reputation both in computer science and
mathematics. It has a tradition of teaching all Master's courses in English, and a significant
percentage of its Master's students are from abroad. It is supported by the departments of
Mathematics, Mechatronics, and Physics and Computational Linguistics as well as by the Max
Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institutes Software Systems, the Fraunhofer
Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing, and the
German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. This provides a unique environment for first
class studies and research in visual computing.
Visual imagery is the most important sensory information for humans. More and more information
is represented by digital images and visual simulations. The entire field of acquiring, analysing, and
synthesising visual data by means of computers is called visual computing.
Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the full spectrum of visual computing cannot be addressed
adequately within a traditional, mono-disciplinary programme of study. This has prompted
Saarland University to offer a novel interdisciplinary Master's programme that is entirely devoted to
all aspects of visual computing. It includes classes and seminars on:
image acquisition and geometric foundations

image analysis (image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition)
image synthesis (computer graphics, scientific visualisation, geometric modelling)
related fields such as telecommunications, machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal
processing, computational linguistics, medical engineering, and cognitive sciences
useful foundations in mathematics, computer science, physics, and mechatronics
Course Details
Course organisation Students are free to choose courses according to their preferences, but have to obtain credit points
from certain categories. There is no fixed timetable for courses.
Types of assessment Almost every course concludes with an exam, term paper, or project. Credits are given only for
successfully completed courses. The overall grade is the weighted mean of all grades (90 ECTS)
obtained during the course of study and the grade of the Master's thesis (30 credit points).

Welcome to Saarland University at the Saarland Informatics Campus
© Saarland University
The university is home to several top research centres that have a direct influence on the departments of informatics, engineering, and life
sciences and give this medium-sized university a wide reputation as a strong, research-driven place.
Located in the south-west of Germany, very close to the French border, Saarland University is a campus university offering an extensive
range of courses and internationally networked state-of-the-art research. International students receive excellent supervision and can
enjoy a comprehensive range of sports, culture and leisure activities while studying at the university surrounded by forest.
The Department of Computer Science is one of the four best computer science departments in Germany (CHE ranking) and part of the
Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC).
At SIC, activities of all informatics facilities, co-located at Saarbrücken, converge. The renowned Max Planck Institutes for Computer
Science and Software Systems as well as the German Center for Artificial Intelligence, the Center for Bioinformatics and the Cluster for
Multimodal Computing and Interaction as well as Saarland University with three departments and 24 degree programmes cover the entire
spectrum of computer science.
Its 800 scientists and about 2,100 students from more than 80 nations create a stimulating international research environment and make
the SIC one of the leading locations for computer science in Germany and Europe. So far, seven Leibniz Prizes from the German Research
Foundation, four Konrad Zuse Medals and 24 awards from the European Research Council have gone to scientists at Saarland Informatics
Campus.

https://www.uni-saarland.de/en/home.html
University location
The state capital Saarbrücken is the regional centre of the Saarland and is situated at the heart of the Europe.
The city has approximately 180,000 inhabitants and is strongly influenced by its proximity to France and the chequered history of a French-
German border town. The university, trade fair, and conference city is set amidst vast woods. It enchants visitors with its French charm,
which is reflected in the narrow alleys at the foot of the castle and in the pedestrian precinct at the St. Johanner market square.
Saarbrücken has a lot to offer for tourists and businesspeople alike: the French flair, the picturesque old part of the city, an extraordinary
cultural life, a high quality of life, and a diversity of culture and nature – but above all, its warm and open people.
