Project groups
In the "project group" course, a group of usually 8-16 students work on a topic specified by the organiser over the course of a year (two semesters). Here, teamwork and the organisation of a project are tested and learned in practice in order to prepare students for their future careers. In terms of content, project groups are intended to introduce students to current research topics. For students, this means that graduates of a project group are generally also predestined to subsequently take on Master's theses in the relevant field. Details can be found in the framework guidelines for project groups.
Prerequisites
- The project group can only be started once the Bachelor's programme has been successfully completed. The Bachelor's degree is successfully completed when all examinations have been passed and the 4.0 confirmation has been submitted to the Examinations Office by 31 March for the summer semester and by 30 September for the winter semester.
- The project group can only be started once enrolment in the Master's degree programme has been completed. Students in the Bachelor's programme who do not achieve the 4.0 confirmation or complete examinations until 31 March and 30 September must therefore apply for the Master's programme by the respective deadline for the change of degree programme.

New project groups in the Master of Computer Science and Master of Computer Engineering
The project groups listed are intended for the Master's degree programme in Computer Science and/or Computer Engineering. There are three types of project groups: Only Computer Science students participate in CS project groups. These groups offer the required 2x10 ECTS credits. Only Computer Engineering students take part in CE project groups, which offer the required 2x9 ECTS credits. Students from both degree programmes take part in mixed project groups. These groups offer the required scope of 2x10 ECTS and 2x9 ECTS.
