Master in Visual Computing

The Master's in Visual Computing at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg covers visualisation, computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, and computer vision. The programme is research-oriented and designed to serve students heading toward careers in both industry and academia. The programme runs over four semesters, starting in the winter semester. The first semester establishes breadth across the areas of visual computing that students have not yet encountered, ensuring a common foundation. The second semester deepens knowledge through more specialised courses, for example on flow visualisation, medical imaging, augmented and virtual reality, or object recognition. The third semester continues this specialisation and adds a research-oriented project, typically completed in small groups, where students work on open-ended problems. The fourth semester focuses on research for the master's thesis. The programme is offered at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in Magdeburg, Germany.
