Department of Computer Science


Without the use of computers hardly anything in our society would function. Whether in transportation, production, administration, health care or leisure, computers unobtrusively complete increasingly important tasks. As a result, information technology has become an extremely significant sector. The Universität Karlsruhe (TH) was the first German university to offer a full Diplom degree in computer science in 1972. Ever since then, the Department of Computer Science is considered a leader in the field and internationally ranked number one in all the major rankings and evaluations.

Research and education in computer science at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) is characterized by its breadth coupled with a strong focus on theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. The value that the faculty places on multi-disciplinary education is shown by the offer of business informatics degree program. Other fields of research include:

  • The applications of computer science: computer-aided surgery
  • Semi-humanoid robot systems
  • Computers for everyday use
