Computer Science - Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor's program in Computer Science imparts solid methodological knowledge that forms the basis for a successful professional life.

The program is divided into courses in the areas of software, hardware, systems, and formal fundamentals, as well as electives. Students learn, among other things, to develop software, understand computer architectures, stay up-to-date on operating systems, computer networks, databases, and distributed systems, and employ theoretical fundamentals of mathematics for the efficient solution of practical problems.

Students can choose from a large catalog of compulsory elective and elective modules according to their interests. In addition, they choose a minor subject that prepares them for interdisciplinary work. Choices include electrical engineering, logistics, mechanical engineering, mathematics, philosophy, physics, rehabilitation technology, statistics, theoretical medicine, and business and economics. Individual minor subjects are also possible.

Computer Science - Master of Science

IT systems are important in almost all areas of life. The Master’s program in Computer Science equips students with comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge that enables them to cope with the dynamic nature of high technology. While the program is methodologically oriented, it also emphasizes considerations regarding applications, independent of any particular short-lived, fashionable trends.

Through numerous options, students are able to set their own individual focus of study. The Master’s program in Computer Science is a full-time, classroom-based course of study with a standard duration of four semesters (two years).

In addition to the research areas that students can choose, topics including law, organizational psychology, and business management are covered to prepare them for leadership roles. There is also, as in the Bachelor’s program, a minor subject. Choices include electrical engineering, logistics, mechanical engineering, mathematics, philosophy, physics, rehabilitation technology, statistics, theoretical medicine, and business and economics, or an individual minor subject. Those who wish to concentrate exclusively on computer science can choose, instead of a minor subject, another in-depth module and another seminar.

The Master’s examination regulations for Computer Science allow you to set a focus subject, including algorithmics, bioinformatics, cyber-physical systems, data science, logic, information, and knowledge, optimization, and software and service engineering.
