Alumni lunch 2023 in Beckmannshof
Alumni
The word alumnus or alumna comes from Latin and means “pupil”. Nowadays, university graduates in particular are referred to as alumni, with the background that they have been brought up by their university (also called alma mater, Latin for “nurturing mother”) as people who have matured.
The alumni of our faculty include all those who have studied computer science, IT security or applied computer science or who have taught, researched and worked with us.
Why stay in touch?
We are proud of our alumni and value and maintain long-term contact. Our alumni can continue to benefit from our network and feel our support, for example via:
