Darmstadt. Synthetic Biology, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Autonomous Systems and Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanics: In winter semester 2023/24, TU Darmstadt will offer five new Master's degree programs in the fields of Computer Science, Synthetic Biology and Mechanics. English is the language of instruction in four of the degree programs, which are aligned with the university's research profile. The online application for prospective students is possible until 15 July or 31 August, depending on the degree program.
The degree programs:
Master's program in Synthetic Biology (Language of Instruction: Englisch)
The English-language Master's programme in Synthetic Biology teaches students about various methods and approaches in synthetic biology that enable biological systems to be equipped with novel molecular functionalities. With this new course, TU Darmstadt is forging a link between the life sciences and engineering. The aim of synthetic biology is to construct new biomolecular systems with innovative properties. It takes an engineering approach and generates functionalities in cellular and cell-free systems by coupling simple, well-characterised molecular building blocks. The programme is aimed at bachelor graduates in biology and related disciplines who wish to further their scientific education in an interdisciplinary and international environment. The practical and research-oriented Master's programme is divided into four semesters. The first semester is an orientation semester.
The MSc in Synthetic Biology is the first of its kind in Europe. Graduates will uniquely combine expertise from the engineering sciences with the life sciences and bring a new constructive, engineering mindset to biology. Given the foreseeable significant increase in the importance of the life sciences, such profiles will be in high demand in academia and industry and will be crucial for the transition to a sustainable, climate-friendly economy.

Master's program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Language of Instruction: English)
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have started to become ubiquitous in their application to both daily life (e.g., spam filtering, Google search, image processing in digital cameras, automatic translation by DeepL, ChatGPT) as well as many important societal tasks e.g. in energy management, medical diagnosis, agriculture or disaster control. In order to be able to fully exploit this potential, well-trained specialists for these exciting tasks are in high demand worldwide and will remain so in coming decades. The Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt has therefore expanded its course portfolio in AI and ML -- previously integrated primarily in the computer science master's programme – to establish a new master's program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIM) with English as language of instruction. Students can select courses from an exceptionally broad and extraordinarily deep, practice-oriented course portfolio. This wide range of learning opportunities enables them to set their individual focus within AI and ML.

Master's program in Autonomous Systems and Robotics (Language of Instruction: German)
Robots already make many tasks easier for humans in the future. But how can we get them to handle new tasks independently? How do we teach them to cooperate with humans in our complex, human-centred world? With the Master's program in Autonomous Systems and Robotics with German as language of instruction, the department combines modern computer science with classical engineering education. Through close cooperation with other engineering departments at TU Darmstadt, the degree programme offers a particularly diverse range of courses. Additional courses are primarily offered by the depts of electrical engineering and information technology as well as mechanical engineering.
In both Master’s programs, elective areas ensure that students acquire the specialist knowledge and technical abilities essential for applying this knowledge to the real world. At the same time, the electives offered, e.g. in the Studium Generale, give students a lot of freedom to set their own focal points. A great strength of the degree programmes are the integrated projects and practical labs. Here, students have the opportunity to participate in challenging research projects of high international saliency. Graduates face an innovative and promising job market with diverse perspectives in industry, business and research. They can help shape our future as system engineers or software developers in research institutions or in areas of research, development and application in companies.

Master's program in Computer Science (Language of Instruction: English)
In addition to the specialised Master's programs, the Department of Computer Science will also be offering another Master's program in English: The M.Sc. in Computer Science will be starting in the winter semester. It is compatible with Anglo-Saxon degrees with the same name and is particularly well-suited for prospective international students. Students can choose their major to be either Data Science and Engineering, Distributed Computing or Visual Computing. The department has an particularly high number of experts on each of these topics and these topics are also among its research foci. Graduates with each of these majors are in demand worldwide. A wide range of positions in research and development are open to them in both academia and industry.

Master's program in Mechanics (Language of Instruction: English)
The new Master's degree program in Mechanics is unique in Germany: Graduates are trained in the overlapping field between mechanical-physical modelling, computer-oriented calculation methods, the corresponding mathematical fundamentals and engineering application fields. The Mechanics degree program builds on the fundamentals of higher mechanics and mathematics taught in a Bachelor's degree program. Students can acquire in-depth knowledge in several areas of mechanics, applied mechanics and applied mathematics. The application-oriented specialisations include mechanics in aerospace, environmental and biomechanics, mechanics of modern materials or AI and digitalisation in mechanics.
By focusing on key topics in mechanics, the degree program opens up a broad interdisciplinary field of activity for students after graduation, whereby graduates are excellently prepared for an international working environment through the English-language degree program. Possible jobs range from management positions in development departments in mechanical engineering, process engineering and constructive civil engineering to jobs in research and science. This opens up careers in core areas of industry such as the automotive, aerospace and chemical industries, as well as in public research institutions and universities.
