Department of Computer Science
Partner Universities Around the World
These include many universities in Europe, but also overseas in Canada and Vietnam, as well as in North Africa and the Middle East. The partnerships mainly involve student exchanges, but there are also regular joint research projects with some of the partner universities. Staff mobility is also provided for in many agreements and takes place regularly.
To help students decide, the department has identified some partner universities as priority partners. The criteria for this were, in particular, a suitable range of courses for the transfer of ECTS, semester times and very good experiences of previous H-BRS outgoings.
