The department has grown strongly in recent years: the establishment of the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science" and the founding of the Tübingen AI Center, a joint research facility of the University of Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, one of five German competence centers for artificial intelligence and part of the national AI strategy, have provided strong impetus. This is also reflected in the external funding ranking: only two locations in Germany have more external funding per scientist than Tübingen.
With its focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence, Tübingen's computer science has also gained an international profile: The integration into the network of the University of Tübingen, the Max Planck Institutes for Intelligent Systems and for Biological Cybernetics, the European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), the new ELLIS Institute in Tübingen and the Cyber Valley offers students excellent opportunities for exchange with international students and top scientists. Start-up initiatives and technology transfer also play an important role.
Not only Tübingen's computer science faculty, but also the university as a whole is popular: in the past winter semester, more people studied here than ever before. In mid-November 2023, a total of 28,619 students were enrolled in Tübingen, an increase of 0.9 percent compared to the previous year. The number of new students rose to 5,332, an increase of 5.9 percent compared to the previous year.
