PhD Courses in the "Computer Science" Subject and its Specialisations

The PhD subject Computer Science and its five specialisations (Computer Communication; Computer Science Education Research; Database Technology; Embedded Systems; Human-Computer Interaction) offer a selection of regularly offered core PhD-level courses as an important component. Broad introductory courses are marked as such. These courses are complemented by courses on specialised topics that are offered when the need or opportunity arises, by recommended MSc-level courses, and by individual study courses.

PhD students can also attend courses offered elsewhere, say in Northern Europe, at summer schools (partial list), etc.
