Special features regarding the equipment

In addition to several large PC pools in the university computer centre (accessible 24/7, some with GPUs for deep learning), numerous computer science labs with customised hardware and software provide the basis for the practicals and projects in the curriculum of the Computer Science courses. The equipment includes clusters for machine learning, GPU clusters for deep learning, robotics systems, virtual reality equipment (Oculus Rift, etc.), embedded processors (Cortex, etc.), 3D printers, network equipment (routers, switches, etc,), and dedicated software (e.g. for cloud computing).

Special features regarding research and development

Artificial intelligence and data analysis form a special focus at the university. Research activities are concentrated in the Institute for Machine Learning and Analytics (IMLA). The department plays a significant leading role here.

Other special features

The Computer Science degree courses at the Hochschule Offenburg are characterised by a special relation to practice. The almost 40 different practicals in areas such as Web Technology, Cloud Computing, Enterprise Applications, Embedded Systems, Mobile Computing, Machine Learning or Deep Learning are closely linked with the theoretical courses and qualify students to actively master innovative technologies. Application-oriented projects and work placements complete the profile and are the basis for a high level of acceptance of the courses by industry.
