Bachelor Computer Science

The first time hurdle in the Bachelor's program is the orientation examination. This exam must have been passed by the end of the 3rd semester, lastest.

The maximum period of study for this course is 12 semesters.

In the first two years of the Bachelor's degree program, the focus is on learning the basics of computer science. Mathematics and theoretical computer science characterize the start of the course. You will learn how to program and develop software, learn everything you need to know about data structures and algorithms and build up a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical and technical foundations of computer science. After that there will be  a thematically broad program ranging from theory to hardware. Overall, our B.Sc. Computer Science students are equipped with a solid knowledge of the fundamental areas of computer science and acquire the ability to familiarize themselves with other areas independently.

An application subject can be taken as well in the elective area, but it is not compulsory. Thus, our students can already orient themselves individually to later employment opportunities in their Bachelor's degree and acquire corresponding basic knowledge in an application area. The list of application subjects is constantly revised and supplemented. It currently includes the following application subjects:

• Automotive mechatronics
• Aerospace engineering
• Mathematics
• Natural language processing
• IT in automation technology

Teamwork is recommended in this program, but is not explicitly stipulated in the curriculum. Due to the wide range of courses, there is not that explicit and typical course content in Computer Science. However, the wide range of elective options also allows students to design their program individually.

Compared to the other study programs in the department, Computer Science focuses more on analytical aspects and thus on theory. Additionally, the field of technical computer science is also examined more than elsewhere. Overall, the the elective area in the B.Sc. Computer Science study program is significantly greater than in the other Bachelor's degree programs in the department. Graduates of the B.Sc. in Computer Science can complete almost any challenge in the field of computer science due to its broad positioning. Nevertheless, there are also subject areas that overlap across degree programs.
