M.A. vs. M.Sc.

This program will lead to either an M.A. or an M.Sc. depending on the chosen specialization and the focus of the master’s thesis. Independent of their previous qualifications and the respective track, students who specialize in philosophy in the second year will receive an M.A.; students who specialize in computer science will receive an M.Sc. To specialize in computer science and receive an M.Sc., students need to choose specialization seminars that lead to a computer science master thesis. All other students will receive an M.A. In potential borderline cases, the final decision lies with the examination board (Prüfungsausschuss). The decision will be made by the start of the thesis.

Further information will be provided in due course. Teachers offer ample support in guiding students on their personal path through the program.
