The Deans' List

One cohort, one academic year
Each cohort begins in the winter semester and ends at the close of the summer semester with the Deans’ List Dinner and the presentation of certificates. The first cohort, which started in the 2026 summer semester, will therefore remain on the list for three semesters as an exception. The next cohort begins in the 2027/28 winter semester.

How do you get onto the Deans' List?

It is neither possible nor necessary to apply. Selection takes place once a year, based on examination results provided by the examination boards in conjunction with the Examinations Office. The decision is made by the Faculty Management. Selected students will be contacted personally by the Dean.

Students from all Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes within the faculty (with the exception of VAWi) are considered from the second semester onwards. Among these students, the decision is based on the grade point average. To ensure that all degree programmes are represented, the approximately 40 places are allocated proportionally according to student numbers to the following groups: B.Sc. in Information Systems and IISM; B.Sc. in Applied Computer Science and AI & Data Science; B.Sc. Computer Science; M.Sc. Information Systems and IISM; M.Sc. Applied Computer Science, Computing in the Humanities and Interaction Research and Design; M.Sc. International Software Systems Science.

In addition, each member of the Faculty Management Team may nominate one student. 
Members can look forward to an annual programme of regular formats: the Winter Lounge and Summer Lounge, the Deans’ List Insights series with guests from industry and practice, and the Deans’ List Dinner to round off the year. In the Creative Commit, each cohort also develops a joint project for the Faculty. Members receive a certificate at the end of their time on the list.
