Applied Computer Science, B.Sc.
The Bachelor's degree program Applied Computer Science differs from the Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science by a strong profile-forming application subject and by the emphasis in practical training. An essential element is the teaching of vocational field-oriented qualifications.

Programme selection →About the programme
The competences acquired in this study form the basis for an activity in the industry. The integrated internship and the deepening in a profile-forming application tray prepare you for practical use. The bachelor's degree offers numerous career opportunities, especially in the areas of IT, such as software and database development, programming, administration, service and support, web development and web programming, marketing and sales, hardware development, but also as an interface to other fields.
What you study
Compared to the Bachelor program Informatics, modules for the provision of informational subject and methodological competences occupy less space. The following application fields are available: Computational Neuroscience, Geography, Linguistics with a focus on Computational Linguistics / Speech Technology, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, Economics. First, you acquire mathematical and scientific-technical basics as well as specialized knowledge of computer science within the framework of compulsory modules. From the fourth semester, you can set individual emphases in the degree program. In the seventh semester, you will complete an internship in an institution whose field of activity should be related to the chosen application subject.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
