Graduate programmes in computer science
Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science
With its strong focus on research and cutting-edge science, the English-language Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science provides an intellectually stimulating and academically rigorous environment for graduate students looking to pursue internationally competitive doctoral research in computer science. Working in one of the many research groups within the graduate school and with academic supervision provided by internationally renowned scientists, students are ideally placed to explore and advance cutting-edge computer science research.
International Max Planck Research School on Trustworthy Computing
The IMPRS-TRUST research school is a graduate training programme run jointly by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, the Department of Computer Science at Saarland University and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU). Students at IMPRS-TRUST receive a first-class, research-oriented education in their chosen area of specialization. They are supervised by internationally recognized academics and have the opportunity to conduct research in a competitive but cooperative environment.
Maryland Max Planck Ph.D. Program
This doctoral programme offers students a unique opportunity to pursue doctoral research under the joint supervision of professors from the University of Maryland in the USA and a Max Planck Institute in Germany. In addition to being jointly supervised, students on the programme undertake collaborative research and benefit from the expertise and resources of both institutions and from exposure to their respective research cultures. The opportunity to live and conduct research in both countries not only strengthens intercultural competence, it also actively promotes international scientific collaboration.
Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Learning and Intelligent Systems
Funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Konrad Zuse School ELIZA draws on the innovative power of a strong and collaborative network of partners to train outstanding young German and international AI talent. ELIZA – one of three Konrad Zuse Schools for Artificial Intelligence – focuses on machine learning and intelligent systems – the driving force behind the transformation of artificial intelligence and its sub-disciplines. In addition to Saarland University and the Max Planck Institutes for Informatics and Software Systems – both located on the Saarbrücken campus – ELIZA has eleven other partners throughout Germany.
