Its whole master's in Computer Science is taught in English.

The main campus is in Saarbrücken, the capital of Saarland, in south-west Germany near the French border; the medical campus is in Homburg. Saarbrücken has a French-influenced culture and lower living costs than big German cities, and Paris is under two hours away by high-speed train.
Saarland University welcomes students from Pakistan, especially for English-taught master's programmes in computer science and related fields. Most programmes start in October, and some also in April.
Public universities in North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland do not charge tuition fees for most degree programmes, including for students from Pakistan; you only pay a semester contribution (usually a few hundred euros per semester), which often includes a public transport ticket. For the German student visa you will need your admission letter, proof of funds (usually a blocked account, "Sperrkonto", covering one year of living costs) and health insurance.
