Study and Apprenticeship at ZIH

In addition to its extensive range of services and research program ZIH staff also serve as professors and lecturers in the Computer Science department. ZIH offers courses in the field of computer architecture, data analytics, and bio-mathematics.
The computer architecture professorship (see "At a Glance") offers a variety of interesting topics for diploma thesis to students.

Furthermore, the ZIH offers a three-year apprenticeship as an IT specialist focusing on application development.

Chair of Computer Architecture

Because Prof. Nagel is Director of the ZIH and holds the Chair of "Computer Architecture", education opportunities are benefited by this creating interesting link fields of research within the ZIH. A number of courses involve direct references to the current architecture of the HPC machines at ZIH and on the latest developmental trends.

Course Mathematical Biology

Large amounts of datagenerated from answering important questions from biology and medicine require mathematical models that are ever increasing in size. In the lectures "Einführung in Mathematical Biology I and II" as well as an accompanying seminar, we offer an introduction to the modeling of biological systems using stochastic, discrete and continuous models, as well as their analysis, numerical simulation and interdisciplinary application.

Apprenticeship Fachinformatiker

Study is (still) not your choise? You want to learn better in practice? Consider the option "Fachinformatiker". In addition to the lectures and seminars for students, the ZIH holds a three-year apprenticeship as an it specialist.

Education with fun

Each semester the ZIH offers a series of courses on computer architecture that is paired with a professorship of "Computer Architecture" at the Institute for Technical Informatics. Theoretical knowledge related to computer architecture and high-performance computing are taught in lectures. In seminars and practicals, what was learned in lectures can be applied. In particular, access to HPC resources are granted to students.

The target groups are students of Informatics, Media Informatics, Information Technology, Computational Science and Engineering and Mathematics. Students from other engineering courses are also welcome.

In addition to the courses on computer architecture and high performance computing, lectures in the field of bioinformatics are also offered. Research in bioinformatics is a focus of the ZIH. These lectures and seminars are suitable for students and graduates in biology, mathematics, physics, medicine, computer science and beyond.

Detailed information can be found on the web pages of the Chair of "Computer Architecture" and the website of the group "Innovative methods of Computing".

If you need more practice, you can be trained by the ZIH in a three-year apprenticeship as an IT specialist. Our focus is on programming and modifying existing software modules. Of course, we cover all ground within the network and hardware area.
