Department of Computer Science
Research and Teaching in Computer Science and AI
From software and data science to supercomputing and Artificial Intelligence, the Department of Computer Science in the School of Computation, Information and Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) conducts research on and teaches in Informatics and in interdisciplinary fields of research. We train our students in the fundamentals of Computer Science and its applications. Our work focuses on practical application and our research is carried out in close cooperation with industry partners. Research and teaching are deliberately closely intertwined. Our students receive an excellent education: In worldwide university rankings, Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich is consistently among the top in Germany.
The Department of Computer Science in the School of Computation, Information and Technology at the TUM is one of the largest teaching and research institutions for Informatics in Germany. We have scientists working on exciting, cutting-edge topics, including computer vision, machine learning, enterprise computing, supercomputing, and much more. We combine discipline-specific approaches and methods with those of other disciplines. As a result, our state-of-the-art laboratories produce exhilarating results and intelligent applications that translate into real progress.
The rapid transfer of knowledge and close cooperation with local businesses are important to us. In numerous projects, our research groups work together with IT companies and application sectors, such as the automotive and service industries, as well as medical technology. Technology transfer from the TUM Department of Computer Science's fundamental research has led to the launch of renowned start-ups in the Munich area.
