Computational Visualistics, B.Sc.
Computational Visualistics is an interdisciplinary course only offered in Germany by Magdeburg and Koblenz Universities. It looks at how computers can be used to generate and analyse images. The course in Computational Visualistics is especially aimed at students with wide ranging interdisciplinary interests, as on the one hand, the course delivers in-depth specialist knowledge in the core areas of computer science such as databases, programming, mathematics and software engineering, whilst on the other hand providing students with specific knowledge of image-related aspects of computer science, such as computer graphics, image processing and algorithmic geometry. It also conveys a basic understanding of the humanities subjects that are essential for the development of computer systems, such as perceptual psychology or pedagogy. Students are given the tools to employ their knowledge of computer science to solve problems in applied subjects such as medicine, construction and design.

Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
This course is divided into core, mandatory and mandatory elective subjects. The core modules are attended by students on every course offered by the Faculty of Computer Science (e.g. mathematics, key and methodological competences). The mandatory area is tailored to each course, and the mandatory electives focus on the students’ specialisations. In addition, from the third semester, an additional, applied subject must be selected. This Bachelor’s degree course may be followed directly by the corresponding Master’s degree course.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The professional fields open to graduates of Computational Visualistics overlap to some extent with those of Computer Science. Over and above this, computational visualistics graduates work first and foremost in the field of media and entertainment (e.g. game development, CAD), in the automotive industry (e.g. simulation, virtual reality), in medical technology, in image information technology, and in research and development (for example in cooperation with biologists, neuroscientists, medical professionals and engineers).

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 via uni-assist until 15.01uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 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.
