About the Computer Science department


The Computer Science department is one of the youngest departments of the University of Freiburg. After a development phase of only 13 years, the German Centre for Higher Education (CHE) has ranked it as one of the fastest growing computer science research departments in Germany. It received top marks for teaching, technical equipment and success in attracting external funding.

It currently has 15 professors and approximately 110 research assistants working in a total of 17 research groups. They cover a broad spectrum of teaching and research topics which range from computer graphics to artificial intelligence, from algorithms to software technology, and from communication systems to applications in engineering and the life sciences. 600 students are enrolled in both, undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the Department of Computer Science.


About the University of Freiburg


In October 2007 the University of Freiburg was selected by the German government to become one out of 9 "excellence universities". This demonstrates its top position among German universities, also documented in nationwide rankings. Besides its excellence in research and teaching, the scholarly diversity is above all what attracts so many students to Freiburg`s Alma Mater. The University of Freiburg consists of 11 Faculties, which offer degree programmes in theology, mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, geo sciences, forestry, computer science and microsystems engineering. The university library holds more than two million volumes as well as multimedia facilities. All students have the opportunity to join the General University Sports Association, which offers 35 different kinds of sports.

With 30,000 students, Freiburg is clearly a college town. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere coupled with the large spectrum of cultural offerings has made Freiburg one of the most attractive destinations for students.
