Study program structure and content
During the first four semesters, the computer science component of your studies will equip you with knowledge in many areas of theoretical and practical computer science and enable you to familiarize yourself with other areas independently. You will learn programming and general programming language concepts – using the Java programming language as an example.
If you have chosen mathematics as your second major subject: The mathematics modules will be replaced by modules from the elective area.
Alongside your specialized studies, you will complete a subsidiary course in educational science, gaining an understanding of key pedagogical concepts.
In the last two semesters, you will choose elective modules and specialize your profile. At the same time, you will take teaching methodology modules for your main subjects. You will learn how to plan, conduct, and evaluate lessons – e.g., teaching sorting algorithms, programming with Java, or computer architecture. Finally, you will apply your knowledge in your Bachelor’s thesis.

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works:
Most computer science courses are taught in a traditional format, often as lectures in large lecture halls. The study program also includes lectures in educational sciences.
However, lectures accompanied by small-group exercise sessions are also common in computer science. These courses are completed with a written or oral exam.
We place great importance on our students learning to organize themselves in projects and seminars from an early stage.
You will also frequently attend seminars in educational sciences. In these courses, you will be required to research topics yourself and present them to the other seminar participants. Reflecting on your own learning process plays an important role, as you will need to be able to assess your students' learning processes in your professional life.
