Academic and language preparation
Relevant bachelor with substantial computer science and mathematics preparation; programme-specific course equivalence and English evidence are assessed.
Application route and preparation
Open admission subject to academic requirements; first-semester entry is winter only. The programme publishes recurring deadlines of 1 March for non-EU/EEA applicants and 15 July for EU/EEA applicants, with exceptions. Central RWTH admissions guidance takes precedence; confirm the intended 2027 round.
A published programme does not mean every intake is open. Confirm the academic year, applicant category, required documents and submission deadline on the official application page.
Tuition and funding context
Currently no tuition for SSE; a semester contribution is payable. The official FAQ reports discussions about a possible legal framework for non-EU tuition. No 2027 tuition charge or semester-contribution amount was verified; recheck before budgeting.
