Looking for a Master’s in Computer Science in Germany? This page lists 90 English-taught master’s programs at 49 public universities for students with a CSE, CS, SWE or IT background. For each program you will find the city, intake (winter or summer), IELTS score, application method, semester fee and application deadline.

All universities on this list are public and charge no tuition fees, only a semester contribution. 55 programs accept students in both the winter and summer semester, so you have more than one chance per year to start your Master’s in Computer Science in Germany.

Important: deadlines and requirements change every year. Always check the official university course website before you apply. Use this list as a starting point, not as your only source.

How to Use This Master’s in Computer Science in Germany List

Please read these notes before you shortlist programs:

• City with a (*) sign: we could not find reliable information on whether students in that city need to show a blocked account again for the second year (for example a full blocked account, a half blocked account plus a job contract, or only a job contract). Cities without a (*) are cities where a second-year blocked account is generally not required. Confirm this with the local Ausländerbehörde (foreigners’ office).
• Application deadline: the date listed is the last day to apply. Check the university website to find out when the application window opens and closes.
• DAAD deadlines: the deadline shown on the DAAD website is usually the maximum final deadline. Do not rely on it alone. Compare it with the university course website and MyGermanUniversity.
• Late arrival and deferral: whether a university allows late arrival or deferring your admission must be confirmed by emailing the university or the course coordinator.
• Application method: “Direct” means you apply on the university’s own portal. “uni-assist” means you apply through, or first get a VPD from, uni-assist.
• Semester fee: the semester contribution usually includes a public transport ticket. It changes slightly each semester.

Quick Overview

• 90 English-taught master’s programs at 49 public universities
• 55 programs with both winter and summer intake; 2 with a summer intake only
• 45 programs accept direct applications; 47 use uni-assist
• No tuition fees for any program on this list; only the semester contribution
• 57 programs are in cities marked with (*), where second-year blocked account information is not available

How to Apply for a Master’s in Computer Science in Germany

• Shortlist 5–10 programs from the tables above that match your bachelor’s subject, grade and IELTS score.
• Check every requirement on the course website: ECTS credits, minimum grade, GRE, English and German language level, and required documents.
• Note the deadlines and apply early, especially if you need a VPD from uni-assist. Our application deadline guide explains the full timeline.
• Prepare your finances for the visa. Compare Fintiba vs Expatrio blocked accounts, or read about studying without a blocked account.
• Look for funding with our list of scholarships for international students in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Master’s in Computer Science in Germany free?

At the public universities listed here there are no tuition fees for these programs. You only pay a semester contribution, usually between about €67 and €420, plus your living costs. Some federal states and universities charge tuition to non-EU students, so always confirm the current fees on the university website.

Can I apply without German language skills?

Yes. All programs on this list are taught in English, and most do not require German for admission. Some ask for A1 or A2 German during the program, so check the language requirements of each course.

What does the (*) next to a city mean?

It means we could not confirm whether students in that city must show a blocked account again in their second year. Ask the local foreigners’ office (Ausländerbehörde) or students already living there.

Where can I verify this information?

Use the official university course website first, then compare with the DAAD International Programmes database and MyGermanUniversity.
