Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
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 →About the programme
The training is based on the job description of a computer scientist who is involved in the new and further development of software and hardware systems in the field of industry or the service industry. In doing so, great value is attached to the imparting of comprehensive practical knowledge as well as theoretically substantiated concepts and methods in order to enable a successful activity in practice and at the same time to lay the foundations for a scientifically oriented Master's degree program.

- Software design: problem analysis, system development, programming, software maintenance, quality assurance
- Hardware Development: Application specific design of processors, controllers, and other hardware components generally using specialized software
- System operation: Maintaining and adapting existing computer, network and software systems to ever-changing requirements
- Training and education: Qualification of users of software and hardware systems in their own company or in training centers
- Consulting and Marketing: Development, proposal and sale of application solutions for software and hardware for specific task complexes of a company
The still very high demand for graduates with a computer science qualification gives the students very good job prospects for the foreseeable future after graduation.

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 C1 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 15.07uni-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.
