Special features regarding teaching
In addition to theory, teaching is characterised by a high practical component, in which students have to put the knowledge they have acquired into practice in internships and projects. This is supplemented by project work in teams.
Exchange universities for stay abroads
University of South Alabama, Mobile, USA; Oulu University of Applied Sciences, Finnland; Polytech Grenoble, Frankreich; Universidade Regional de Blumenau, Brasilien
Special features regarding the equipment
In addition to several large PC pools of the university computer centre (accessible 7 days / 24 h, some with GPUs for Deep Learning), numerous computer science laboratories with their customised hardware and software provide the basis for the practical courses and projects in the curriculum of the computer science degree courses. The equipment includes clusters for machine learning, GPU clusters for deep learning, robotic systems, virtual reality equipment (Oculus Rift, ...), embedded (Cortex, ...), 3D printers, network equipment (routers, switches, ...), and dedicated software (e.g. for cloud computing).
Special features regarding research and development
The faculty offers the possibility of student participation in numerous ongoing research projects, which are particularly popular in projects of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems (robot soccer, autonomous driving). Final theses and student projects are also carried out in thematic connection with research projects. A newly established research group is dedicated to the topic of AI and Machine LearningScience, which is also reflected as a focus in the curriculum of the Master's degree course in Computer Science and as the Bachelor's degree in Applied AI.
Support for founders
The university-wide Career Centre supports business start-ups by providing appropriate advisory services.
Other special features
The Computer Science degree courses at the Hochschule Offenburg are characterised by a special relation to practice. The almost 40 different practicals in areas such as Web Technology, Cloud Computing, Enterprise Applications, Embedded Systems, Mobile Computing, Machine Learning or Deep Learning are closely linked with the theoretical courses and qualify students to actively master innovative technologies. Application-oriented projects and work placements complete the profile and are the basis for a high level of acceptance of the courses by industry.
