Computer Engineering, B.Sc.
The students of the Bachelor's degree in “Computer Engineering” are taught the knowledge and skills that they need in their professional life as a graduate of a degree at the interface between electrical engineering and computer science. They also acquire skills that enable them to pursue a master's degree in these two subjects.

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
Through basic and method-oriented training and the imparting of work techniques in computer science and engineering, you will be able to make valuable contributions in your field of application right from the start and also be sustainable discontinue future IT technologies. The course offers a balanced combination of modules in engineering and general engineering and natural sciences, which are ultimately used in an integrated way in a practical project and in the bachelor thesis. The IT modules include digital technology basics, circuit design, computer architecture, basic and advanced programming, programming paradigms and modeling methods, software technology, operating systems, computer networks, Internet technologies with security technologies and database systems. The basic engineering and natural sciences include physics, electrical engineering, mechanics, and mathematics-related subjects. Finally, there are technical and non-technical electives.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Worldwide, there is a long-term need for engineering graduates in both industry and universities. The Bachelor's degree programs of the ISE study program are given a special career perspective, in that the combination of subjects and forms of mediation creates a connection between the broadest possible engineering foundation and application-oriented subjects that convey methods and skills that can be used as directly as possible in professional practice. In addition, the Bachelor's degree programs of the ISE study program are enhanced by a comparatively high level of language and cultural knowledge. This component of the training corresponds to the requirements of the industry for future graduates, who, with the attributes of teamwork, knowledge of foreign languages and international experience, increasingly put skills in dealing with customers alongside purely technical expertise.

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.
- 2German up to B1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.09uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
