Computer Science, B.Sc.
There is almost no branch of industry that can do without computer scientists these days. This affects all industrial companies, but also all service companies and public administrations. Graduates of the computer science course therefore have many career opportunities in front of them.

Programme selection →About the programme
Since the leaps in technology in the 1960s and 1970s, computer science has been a key industry that has achieved the status of an established branch of the economy in recent decades. Information technology is still said to have enormous future potential, which is characterized by constant innovations and ever shorter development cycles. As a result, a need for skilled workers is generated that can be described as almost resistant to the economic cycle. According to the Bitkom industry association, the shortage of IT specialists has currently reached a new high. Specialists in Germany are sought across all sectors.
What you study
In the first half of the course, all the necessary foundations are laid that you need for the course and later professional activity. It begins with a well-founded overview of modern computer, communication and software systems and with the necessary theoretical content from mathematics, logic and scientific work. At the same time, practical procedures are practiced from the very first semester in order to be able to develop and test IT solutions independently.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The field of activity of a computer scientist with an academic degree is so diverse that it is difficult to summarize in individual job titles. It ranges from the conception and support of network components or data centers through database management to the programming of central software solutions or the development of apps on mobile devices. Depending on your personal inclination, the technology is in the foreground for you or the organization and management of systems or the advice and support of IT users.

- 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 15.07uni-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.
