Computer science – excellent teaching initiatives
The University of Saarland was successful twice in the Excellence Initiative of the Federation and Regions. As the only university in Germany it obtained both a ‘cluster of excellence’ and graduate school approval in computer science. The Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science is currently supporting around 375 graduate students on their way to a doctorate. Using a structured programme, it allows talented students to pursue the objective of a doctorate as early as possible.
