Exchange Semester

During your Masters in Computer Science at the University of Siegen, you have the option to take part in an exchange program. Currently, we are establishing relationships with foreign Universities in order to achieve a smooth integration of the exchange semester into your studies at Siegen University.

So far, the following exchange links have been established.

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway (Erasmus)

Since 2017, we have an Erasmus agreement for sending (and receiving) Comuter Science students at Master level to (and from) the NTNU, the leading technical university in Norway.

Applying for an exchange semester involves filling out an Erasmus application form and providing documents; check with the International Student Affairs (ISA). Any application is checked with the International Office at NTNU and in the case of a positive evaluation, there is a fast track application at NTNU.

In your exchange semester you can take courses from the following

  • Applied Computer Science
  • Information Security
  • Interaction Design

webpage or on our Erasmus webpage. In case of interest you can also contact Prof. Van Laerhoven.


University of Gothenburg

Since 2023, ETI has an Erasmus agreement with the Department of Applied Information Technology (DAIT)
at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The agreement covers Master's students and staff. The DAIT offers different Master's programs. Mainly, the lectures offered in the Master's program Human-centered AI are relevant to students from Siegen:

  • Intro to HCAI
  • Interaction Design and AI
  • AI and human thinking
  • Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Artificial Intelligence
  • Digital Innovation in Sports
  • Data and Society
  • Project course (this is an open project course where students can do a project either at a company or at the department).

However, also some lectures from the Master's programs"Communication" or"Digital Leadership" may be of interest. Which of the lectures you will eventually attend must be discussed in advance.
