Interdisciplinary Project in an Application Subject (IDP)

The Interdisciplinary Project (IDP) is a required component of your Master’s of Informatics program. Through practical work in a minor subject, it bridges the gap between informatics and your chosen minor subject. It can be beneficial to choose a topic that relates to your undergraduate studies so that you possess some previous knowledge of the topic.

The IDP is worth 16 credits, earned through lecture with exercise (4 hours per week, no lab courses or seminars), practical work, documentation, and presentation.

Note that no elective course lectures on Informatics may be taken into consideration.

Information

Guideline IDP project description

It is strongly recommended to complete IDP within 2 semesters.

The project description should be 2 pages long and contain the following aspects:

  • title
  • description of content (about 1 page)
  • description of relationship between project and application area
  • justification of choice of lecture – how does it fit into concept?
  • milestones
  • timetable

Possible Projects

This is a platform for chairs of other departments to announce possible Interdisciplinary Projects.

The following projects are currently available and announced online. You may (and often must) also search for an IDP on your own, see the How-To above for hints. If you are interested in one of the projects, please get in touch with the contact person listed in the project description.

Please note: There is no quality control for the announced projects. The quality of a project will only be checked together with the registration and acceptance process of an Interdisciplinary Project.

Announcements on other websites

In addition to the listing below, some chairs also post IDPs on their own sites:
