Theoretical Informatics

The study of theoretical computer science focuses on a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles underlying contemporary information technologies, including non-classical computing systems such as neural networks and quantum computers. In addition to the active acquisition of knowledge of a theoretical and technical nature, special emphasis is placed on the development of abstract thinking.

Students will learn advanced algorithmic techniques, gain insight into the principles of modern programming languages, become familiar with methods for analyzing, testing, and verifying code, and understand the capabilities and limitations of emerging computing devices that operate on different principles than classical computers. The knowledge and skills acquired will prepare students for expert analytical work, which may include independent research.

Candidates choose one of the specialisations Discrete Algorithms and Models, Formal Analysis of Computer Systems, Quantum and Other Non-Classical Computational Models or Principles of Programming Languages.

Graduate profile

Graduates of the program are prepared to work in companies focused on the design and development of software systems, especially in the positions of analyst, software architect or verifier. They will also find employment in companies providing consulting and advisory services in the field of computer science. A solid mathematical background together with knowledge of non-trivial algorithmic procedures is a good prerequisite for working in the financial sector. The acquired knowledge and skills can also be put to good use in further doctoral studies.
