Information for students
In this section we provide you with certain information concerning the curriculum, the modules, lectures, and exercises, as well as other study-related things of our master's program. The international master's program in distributed systems engineering was reorganized from 2018 to 2020 which requires us to provide you with different information depending on when you started your studies.
DSE 2020
DSE 2020 Curriculum
Students who begin their degree program earliest in October 2020 now study according to the new study and exam regulations from 2020. The new regulations comprise smaller modules, a mandatory language course to learn German or to improve your English skills, as well as a bunch of new modules to adress upcoming trends and research in the field of distributed systems.
DSE 2010/2014/2017
Students who started before October 2020 continue to study according to the study and exam regulations from 2017. Those students shouldn't notice any changes as long as they complete their studies in time.
Student Counselling
If you have questions which are not specific to DSE but specific to studying at TU Dresden (enrollment, visa issues, payments) please contact the International Office. If you have any questions related to the master's program in distributed systems engineering (except for exams), please contact the DSE Academic Advisory Services. For questions related to exams either contact your examiner, professor or the Service Center for International Students (SCIS). Eventually, you may also contact the student association (Fachschaftsrat) for questions related to campus life.
