International Masters Degree for Computer Science

University of Wisconsin - Platteville, USA
Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany
James Cook University, Townsville, Australia

The above three universities have joined together to offer an international master's degree in computer science. Students take classes from at least two schools: their "home" institution and one of the partner institutions. Depending on the student, the program can be completed in three or four semesters. Courses include traditional computer science subjects such as databases, artificial intelligence, object-oriented software development and compiler construction. There are also more applied courses such as mobile computing, robotics, enterprise computing, and computer security. In addition, students take culture and language courses related to their chosen "abroad" institution. Thus students obtain a truly international experience, both from living abroad and from studying and working with students from other cultures. This program graduates students who are both technically proficient in their chosen area of computer science and are experienced in working in an international setting.

Classes at UW-Plattevllie start in January of each year. Students starting the US spend a spring semester in Platteville and then travel to either Darmstadt, Germany or Townsville, Australia. Students then generally return to Platteville for thesis work in the following spring.
