Alumni

Dear Graduates

After graduation you have to say goodbye to your everyday life as a student, to friends and maybe to Dresden, but we hope that you will stay connected to your/our university and the Faculty of Computer Science. We are building a new web presence especially for all graduates of our faculty and are looking forward to your suggestions, criticism and especially your own contributions. We are happy about your successes, the founding of new companies, new developments... and we are curious to see what the knowledge you have gained here will bring you in your future life.
You are one of the world's most urgently needed IT specialists in all fields. As ambassadors of science, you belong to the growing international family of alumni who carry the values and spirit of our university out into the world.

The alumni portraits are exemplary for the diverse fields of work and careers of our graduates today.
