Degree

Bachelor of Science
(B. Sc.)

New name: The degree program is now called “B. Sc. Computer Science”.

The previous focus on “Software Systems Science” remains in the form of selectable study specializations (e.g. “Software” or “Systems”), but now there is even more!

More choices!

The compulsory program was aligned with the basic skills standardized by the German Informatics Society. This creates more room  

for individual interests, new study focuses, the recognition of modules from other universities - e.g. after stays abroad or when changing degree courses - and for looking beyond the horizon and into other faculties.

New specialization available: Theoretical Computer Science

The foundation for computer systems! Do you love mathematics and want to understand and be able to prove how and why computers are able to solve the world's problems? Then this specialization is just right for you. Because nothing is more practical - and more necessary! - than a good theory.

Today, software is an accompanying feature of everyday life, be it in the household or in the workplace, on public transport, at the doctor or on holiday travels. Ever more activities are being aided by networked computer systems; the required software is becoming more complex, but it must also be highly dependable. The aim of the Computer Science bachelor’s programme is to prepare students both technically and methodically for all fields of activity necessary for the design and analysis of complex and distributed software systems employing modern methods.

The degree is characterized by a highly modern computer science programme. To begin with, it provides essential mathematical and general foundational principles of computer science, with the focus placed not on computer science’s hardware-specific, technical aspects, but rather on the conceptual design, architecture and development of modern software. Building on these foundations, students deepen their understanding of programming and software development and of complex and distributed systems. In this phase, students choose their own areas of focus, and current research and industrial trends are incorporated into the curriculum.

In addition, students acquire valuable subject-specific and interdisciplinary knowledge and skills by participating in team projects and studies abroad at a partner university or in multi-month internships at foreign or internationally operating domestic companies. Teamwork skills and international experience play important roles in the dynamic professional lives of computer scientists, and they also broaden the professional perspectives of programme graduates.
