The Faculty introduces itself.
We are a strong and open community of over 400 scientists and 2,300 students from all over the world who are facing up to the challenges of a digital future and actively helping to shape it.
Our interdisciplinary research combines basic research at the highest international level and applied research with impact and transfer potential. The focus is always on supporting people and their needs. At more than 30 professorships, we work together on new methods of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing and their application, on the development of more intelligent devices and networked systems - e.g. for optimal healthcare, on an intelligent energy supply, on safe and autonomous mobility, robotics of the future or on ever better, safe and trusting cooperation between people and computer systems.
Our faculty makes significant contributions to the clusters of excellence and large collaborative projects at TU Dresden, is responsible for ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Dresden/Leipzig), one of the five AI centers in Germany, heads its own Collaborative Research Center/Transregio on Comprehensible Software Systems with CPEC, supervises SECAI, one of the three DAAD Zuse Schools of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence in Germany, and is one of the nine NHR centers that coordinate national high-performance computing in Germany.
Our interdisciplinary and diverse curriculum, international master's and doctoral programs speak for diversity in education. Four undergraduate computer science courses lay the foundations for a wide range of specialization options in our four Master's courses, which are predominantly taught in English. Our aim is to train highly qualified and responsible graduates and young scientists who will shape the digital future with a wealth of ideas.

Shaping Digital Realities
Mission
Our faculty recognizes, defines, and communicates future topics in computer science and makes substantial contributions to a responsible, sustainable, and human-centered design of digital realities.
We are both a reliable and agile place for tangible excellence. We train highly qualified and responsible graduates and young academics with our cooperative spirit that focuses on individual support.
Our cross-disciplinary research and teaching is internationally oriented without losing sight of a regional anchoring. We combine fundamental research at the highest international level with applied research that has a strong impact and transfer potential.
Our aim is to make future technologies explainable, to democratize computer science knowledge in research and teaching, and thus to make it openly and inclusively accessible for the benefit of humankind.
