Study and examination

regulations for the Master's degree
program in Computer Science
of Rosenheim University of Applied

Sciences From July 31, 2023

Based on Art. 77 para. 1 sentence 1, Art. 79 para. 1 sentence 1, Art. 80 para. 1, Art. 84, Art. 87, Art. 88 para. 3
of the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act (BayHIG) of August 5, 2022 (GVBl. p. 414, BayRS 2210-1-3-
WK), which was amended by § 3 of the law of December 23, 2022 (GVBl. p. 709), Rosenheim Institute of
Technology issues the following statutes:

§1
Purpose of the study and examination regulations

These study and examination regulations serve to complete and supplement the Framework Examination
Regulations for Universities of Applied Sciences in Bavaria (RaPO) dated October 17, 2001 and the General
Examination Regulations of Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences (APO) dated August 2, 2016, as
amended.

§2
Study objectives

(1) The Master's degree course in Computer Science is designed as an application-oriented course. The aim is
to deepen and specialize knowledge in computer science and related fields on a scientific basis. On the basis of
a broad technical knowledge with comprehensive methodological competence, analytical and creative skills for
the development of problem-solving concepts as well as for the redesign and further development of hardware
and software systems are to be taught and promoted. Graduates should be able to apply scientific methods and
findings to complex problems in computer science, both in practice and in application-oriented research and
development.
(2) Computer science deals with the embedding of information systems in complex environments in which
people and technology as well as companies and society interact with all economic, ecological and ethical
aspects. The educational objectives of the Master's degree program therefore include not only pure specialist
knowledge, but also networked and interdisciplinary application knowledge, including so-called "soft skills".
Economic, ergonomic, legal and social skills are also taught. A Master's graduate is expected to have qualities
such as the ability to work in a team, a sense of responsibility, the ability to take criticism, communication and
leadership skills as well as entrepreneurial and strategic thinking.
(3) The proven profile of the universities of applied sciences is emphasized by the integration of practice-related
content in various Master's courses through cooperation with lecturers from partner companies and through an
application-oriented teaching style in seminar form. In addition, the profile of the Faculty of Computer Science at
Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences is characterized by the selection of compulsory elective modules and
Master's specializations.
(4) The Master's degree program is offered in both a full-time and a part-time version. The part-time variant lasts
twice as long as the full-time variant. An attempt is made to schedule the courses in such a way that, as far as
possible, working students are not hindered in their progress.

§3
Admission requirements

(1) The prerequisite for admission to the Master's degree program is a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
or Business Informatics or a degree obtained in Germany or abroad that is equivalent to such a degree. Proof of
a degree-specific
Aptitude according to para. 3 required. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Artificial Intelligence or a
comparable degree will not be admitted to the course of the same name.
(2) The Examination Board decides on the equivalence and relevance of degrees justifying admission and on
the fulfillment of other admission requirements. If the university degree on which admission is based does not
contain all the coursework and quality requirements necessary for equivalence, the Examination Board may
decide that admission is granted on condition that the missing coursework is completed by the time the Master's
thesis is issued at the latest.
(3) In addition to the above-mentioned admission requirements, applicants for the Master's degree program
must prove their aptitude by passing an aptitude test. The aptitude procedure takes the form of a written
examination lasting 60 minutes. The assessment is carried out by two professors from the Faculty of Computer
Science, who are appointed by the Faculty Council. The examination is passed if both examiners have awarded
the grade "successful". The examination covers complex tasks on relevant topics in applied and theoretical
computer science and business informatics. Participation in the examination is waived if the candidate
demonstrates particularly good knowledge in the above-mentioned areas. Particularly good knowledge exists if
an overall grade of 2.5 or better was achieved in a first university degree in computer science or business
informatics or another equivalent course of study at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences or at another
German university. Students who have not passed the aptitude test may apply once again for the aptitude test.
(4) If an applicant can prove that they have a degree that justifies admission, for which fewer than 210 ECTS
credit points, but at least 180 ECTS credit points, have been awarded or are to be classified as equivalent, they
must acquire the missing credit points from the relevant undergraduate courses offered by Rosenheim
University of Applied Sciences. Upon admission to the degree program, the examination board determines
which coursework and examinations must be taken in each individual case. The examinations to be retaken
must be completed by the time the Master's thesis is issued. Section 19 of the General Examination Regulations
of Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences applies accordingly to the possibility of repeating examinations
that have not been passed.
(5) If German is not your native language and you do not have a German university entrance qualification, you
must provide proof of German language skills at level B2 or higher according to the CEFR. Proof of the German
language skills required for the course is deemed to be:
1. German language diploma DSD level 2 (level CEFR B2/C1),
2. Goethe-Zertifikat B2 or higher,
3. TELC certificate B2 or higher,
4. ÖSD certificate B2 or higher,
5. German language examination for university admission DSH 1 or higher,
6. Test of German as a foreign language TestDaF TDN 3 or higher,
7. Certificate of the examination to determine the aptitude of foreign applicants to study at universities in the
Federal Republic of Germany (assessment test),
8. Bachelor's or Master's degree in German.
9. Completed German studies in Germany and abroad.
10. German at level A in the final certificate of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
(6) The qualification requirement for the course is English language proficiency at level B2 of the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This can be demonstrated in particular by:
1. Internet-based TOEFL with 72 points or more,
2. TOEIC with 785 points or more,
3. IELTS with band 6.0 or higher,
4. Cambridge CEFR B2 First (FCE) with Grade C (min. 160 points) or higher,
5. Cambridge CEFR C1 Advanced (CAE) with level B2 (min. 160 points) or higher,
6. Telc Certificate English B2 or higher,
7. Pearson PTE Academic, 60 points or more,
8. At least 6 years of English lessons at school with a grade of at least "sufficient" in the final year, proven by a
German university entrance qualification or an equivalent, recognized university entrance qualification from
a non-German school,
9. Bachelor's or Master's degree in English,
10. Completed English studies in Germany and abroad,
11. A grade of at least "good" in the module 'Technical English' or a comparable English module from the
previous German-language degree.

Applicants whose native language is English are exempt from providing proof of sufficient English language
skills. In cases of doubt or in the absence of proof, applicants may additionally or alternatively be required to
pass a language test at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences that is comparable to the above-mentioned
proof.

§4
Structure of the study program

(1) The Master's degree course has a standard period of study of three semesters as a full-time course and six
semesters as a part-time course. It includes a Master's thesis to be completed in the final semester (in the part-
time version in the last two final semesters). The field of study must be chosen at the same time as the start of
the course. When changing the field of study, the regulations for a change of degree program apply
analogously. The degree programs Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI), SAP-based Business Applications (SAP)
and Software & Systems Engineering (SSE) are offered.
(2) In accordance with the curriculum, modules totaling at least 20 CP in the first module group (M1A, M1B or
M1S) and at least 10 CP from the second module group of the basic modules of the field of study (M2A, M2B or
M2S) must be completed for the field of study.
(3) As part of the personal and professional profile development (module group M5), modules amounting to at
least 10 CP must be completed. This offers the opportunity to further develop or optimize both professional and
personal skills and knowledge through targeted further qualification, taking into account the individual needs of
the student. In addition to the modules published in the curriculum, other subject-related compulsory elective
modules (FWPM) or general science compulsory elective modules (AWPM) that are offered at Rosenheim
University of Applied Sciences can also be taken upon application to the Examination Board.
(4) At least 5 CP must be earned as part of module group M6 (Project Management and Leadership).

§5
Modules and exams

The modules, their number of hours, the credit points, the type of course and the type and scope of the
examinations are set out in the annex to these statutes. The regulations of these statutes are supplemented by
the curriculum.

§6
Curriculum

(1) The Faculty of Computer Science draws up a study plan to ensure the range of courses on offer and to
inform students. It is adopted by the Faculty Council and published publicly by the university. The announcement
of new regulations must be made at the latest at the beginning of the semester in which the regulations are to be
applied for the first time. In particular, the curriculum contains regulations and information on
1. The objectives, content, semester hours per week, credit points and course types of the individual modules,
insofar as this is not conclusively regulated in these statutes, in particular a list of the current compulsory
elective modules including conditions and restrictions regarding attendance.
2. More detailed provisions on examinations, proof of participation and admission requirements.
3. The assignment of the modules to the fields of study.
(2) There is no entitlement to all fields of study, compulsory elective modules and elective modules actually
being offered. Similarly, there is no entitlement to the associated courses being held if the number of participants
is insufficient. The Examination Board may also stipulate participation requirements and maximum numbers of
participants for certain courses.

§7
Master thesis

(1) A student can apply for the issue of a topic for their Master's thesis at the earliest once they have achieved
30 ECTS credits.
(2) The deadline for completing the Master's thesis is 6 months for full-time students and 12 months for part-
time students.
(3) The Master's thesis is assessed and graded by two examiners. At least one of these two examiners should
be a full-time professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences.
(4) The Master's thesis can be written in German or English. A summary in German must be included in any
case.
(5) The Master's thesis must be presented and defended orally within 30 minutes. The provisions of Section 21
(9) and Section 16 of the General Examination Regulations on oral examinations apply accordingly to the
defense.

§8
Academic advising

If students have not achieved at least 30 credit points after two semesters (four in the case of part-time studies),
they are obliged to visit the student advisory service at the request of the examination board.

§9
Examination board

The examination board consists of at least three professors from the Faculty of Computer Science.

§ 10
Overall examination grade
The overall examination grade is the arithmetic mean, rounded down to one decimal place, of the individual
grades relevant to the pass weighted with the associated credit points.

§ 11
Academic degree

The academic degree "Master of Science", abbreviated to "M.Sc.", is awarded on successful completion of the
Master's examination.
 § 12
Entry into force, transitional provisions

(1) These study and examination regulations come into force on March 15, 2024. They apply to students who
begin their studies from the summer semester 2024. It also applies to students who started their studies before
the semester mentioned above but whose studies have been delayed (e.g. due to a leave of absence,
interruption, failure to meet the advancement requirements for the first or second semester), which means that if
they continue their studies, there will no longer be a range of courses corresponding to the previous study and
examination regulations.
(2) For students who are not subject to these study and examination regulations, the study and examination
regulations of February 19, 2015 in the amended version of December 23, 2020 shall continue to apply;
otherwise, these shall cease to apply. However, students may apply to the Examination Board to switch to a
course of study that is subject to these Study and Examination Regulations.

Issued on the basis of the resolution passed by the Senate of Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences on July 19, 2023 and the approval of
the President of Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences.
