Information – the raw material of the future!
In the age of digitalization and connectivity, computer science has become a core foundational discipline that is undergoing a completely new dynamic driven by the rapid advances in artificial intelligence.
The computer science program at the university focuses on an in-depth exploration of theoretical and methodological foundations: With the analytical thinking skills you develop, you will be able to actively help shape future technologies – rather than being replaced by them.
Good to know
- A very broad range of courses that allows students to pursue an individualized specialization over the course of their studies – depending on their interests, in theoretical, practical, or technical computer science, as well as in an applied field.
- A strong emphasis on practical aspects: You will be introduced to the practical aspects of academic work early on in your studies.
- You will benefit not only from the department’s research strength but also from Stuttgart as a research hub – through collaborations with industry partners, Cyber Valley’s AI research, the High-Performance Computing Center, and many other partners, the latest research findings are incorporated into the curriculum.

Computer Science as a minor subject
Computer science is relevant in all areas of our daily lives. This means that computer science skills are also needed in other industries. In order to keep pace with this development, a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in computer science can be useful. In such cases, the BA program consists of a major in the humanities or social sciences and a minor in computer science. Computer science as a minor subject accounts for a significantly smaller proportion of the degree program than the respective major subject and essentially teaches the methodology and fundamental content of computer science.
