The Technical University of Munich (TUM) offers a part-time Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Computer Science, designed for students who need more flexibility due to personal commitments such as family responsibilities, chronic illness, disability, or professional obligations. This program is a full-time, on-campus degree that allows for a reduced workload per semester, resulting in a longer overall study duration. Students can choose between a 66% or 50% study model, which determines the maximum number of credits they can earn each semester and consequently, the extended study period.
