Study program structure and content
The mathematical, practical, and theoretical foundations of computer science and software engineering are taught during the first three semesters. Students acquire and strengthen programming skills. From the third semester onward, these foundations are deepened and expanded. In addition to other mandatory courses, there are two sets of electives that allow students to shape their individual focus.
In the study project, the skills acquired are applied in practice, establishing a connection to future professional work in the industry. In the elective subjects, students can take an application-oriented course worth up to 12 ECTS, enabling further specialization for their future careers. At the end of the program, students can apply the knowledge they have acquired and produce their own scientific thesis – the Bachelor’s thesis.

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.
