How can we protect our data when supercomputers arrive? How can artificial intelligence help us make better decisions? How do we turn robots into rescuers? If you are curious about the answers and later want to contribute to the success of such technologies as an expert, you need to develop the ability to creatively use math and logic to solve problems. While studying computer science at TU Darmstadt, you'll learn the foundations of digital technologies from top researchers and gain the skillsto solve complex challenges and improve the way we live and work in the future.
