RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau

Department of Computer Science

Study

Kaiserslautern is one of the largest IT locations in Germany with the Department of Computer Science forming its core.

Since the department was founded in 1974 three renowned research institutes have evolved from its successful international work. With 30 professors the department covers all areas of computer science and can embrace the importance of computer science as a key skill for virtually all sciences at the TU. The department can also take on the central role of computer science research and development in Kaiserslautern in the future.
