Study program structure and content
The first year of the program will equip you with the fundamentals of practical, theoretical, and technical computer science, as well as mathematics. You will also learn how to familiarize yourself with other areas on your own. Therefore, all courses in the first two semesters are compulsory.
Starting in the third semester, you will build on the foundational knowledge you acquired in the first few semesters and will be able to tailor your course of study to meet your individual needs. To that end, you will have access to lectures covering the full spectrum of current computer science research, allowing you to discover and pursue your interests. These courses are supplemented by two project assignments: the programming project and the Bachelor’s research project.
At the end of your studies, you will apply the skills you have acquired to your Bachelor’s thesis – your own academic achievement.

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works.
Most courses are conducted in the form of traditional lectures. These usually consist of lectures in large lecture halls...
...and accompanying exercises in smaller classrooms, led by student tutors. These courses are usually concluded with a written exam.
Students begin learning independently in projects and seminars at an early stage. In projects, students work in teams on a scientific or practical problem, for example, by programming a piece of software. They are supervised in small groups by professors and academic staff from the department.
The results of the projects from the Software Engineering and Computer Science study programs are presented to the entire department on Project Day. This is a kind of internal conference where students present their work and draw inspiration from the projects of others.
