Bachelor Computer Science

The basic studies convey the basics of computer science and mathematics. Students are introduced to programming with Java and gain initial experience in web development. In addition, important algorithms and data structures are taught. In addition, students expand their key qualifications by learning foreign languages and gain practical experience in their first computer science project. The foundation programme concludes with the Bachelor's preliminary examination.
 

In the first part of the main course, the subjects essential for applications are taught, including the modelling and design of software systems, networks and operating systems as well as databases. In addition, forward-looking topics such as artificial intelligence and IT security play a key role.
 

In the 5th semester, students can apply and deepen their knowledge for the first time within the supervised practical study project. Parallel to this, further key qualifications are taught in a presentation training programme.
 

The second part of the main study programme focuses on application-oriented computer science. In a comprehensive computer science project, students work as part of a team to realise a practical or research-oriented task. In this part of the programme, students can also set their own individual focus by choosing from a wide range of five elective modules, such as Green IT, Machine Learning and Data Mining, Cloud Computing, Internet Programming and Image Processing.
The bachelor´s thesis is written in the seventh semester. The topic of the thesis is usually determined in cooperation between the university and an external project partner. Accordingly, supervision is also carried out in co-operation between the university and the project partner. The student first develops an interdisciplinary project, on which the Bachelor's thesis is then written.
