Computer Science (BSc)

The standard duration of the Bachelor's programme is six semesters. The first half of the programme focuses on analytical, formal-abstract and algorithmic thinking as well as the theoretical and technical fundamentals of computer science.

As the programme progresses, students deepen their knowledge of software engineering, networks, IT security, artificial intelligence and machine learning, apply this knowledge in a computer science project and also choose a specialisation.

Exams take place at the end of the semester, after the courses have been completed and before the new semester begins.

The ongoing digitalisation of the economy and society opens up a wide range of attractive career paths for graduates of this programme. From software development and IT security to data science, anything is possible. As long as computers exist, you will be needed and in demand.

Building on the bachelor's degree, the department offers the following master's programmes:

• Computer Science
• Business Informatics, Sustainability and Digitalisation
• Autonomous Systems
• Cyber Security & Privacy
• Game Technologies

The university's start-up factory provides support for founding your own company.

The bachelor's programme includes a 10- to 12-week practical project. The practical project usually begins immediately after the lecture period of the fifth semester. This gives you the opportunity to put the knowledge and skills you have acquired during your studies to the test in the professional world. You are responsible for finding a company, research institution or public authority that is relevant to your chosen topic. This often leads to valuable contacts for your bachelor's thesis or your career start after graduation.
