Courses

chalk-wide

We are offering courses in  Algorithms and Data Structures, Optimization, Metaheuristics, Constrained Optimization, Graph algorithms, and Algorithmic Geometry.

Project and Thesis Topics

We are always looking for enthusiastic students who are interested in a research project or thesis in our Bachelor and Master programs. Examples of topics for Projects, Bachelor and Master theses can be found here.

Note that due to major adaptions of curricula, several of our former courses have been restructured/merged/renamed, have now different ECTS/hours, and got new numbers!
