Computer Science, B.Sc.
Computer Science is the science of systematic processing of information, especially the automatic pocessing with the assistance of computers. As a science, Computer Science developed historically from mathematics whereas the development of the first computers has its origins in Electrical and Communications Engineering. Nevertheless, computers are only a tool and medium of Computer Science to implement theoretical concepts into practice.
The study of Computer Science imparts the basic knowledge, methodological skills and the competences which prepare for the various tasks as a computer scientist. The focus of the bachelor program with a duration of six semesters is the imparting of scientific/technical competences in the classical subject areas of Computer Science. Disciplines such as theoretical fundamentals, professional programming, software engineering, databases, system software and computer architecture have priority. Choosing a minor and a specialisation provide the opportunity to set own thematical topics according to personal interests in the study.
Successful studies lead to the degree “Bachelor of Sience”, which qualifies for a career as well as for a consecutive master’s program.

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
- Fundamentals of computer science and programming (e.g. computer organization, computer architectures, algorithms and programming)
- Mathematics (e.g. mathematics and stochastics for computer science, discrete structures)
- Practical information (e.g. software engineering, databases, operating systems, telematics, computer graphics, software project)
- Theoretical Computer Science (e.g. communication models, algorithms and structures, logic)
- Optional courses (e.g. automata theory, computational intelligence, system and network security, mobile communication, embedded systems)
- Minor (e.g. biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, information and communication technology, media technology, mathematics, economics)
- Non-technical subjects
- Proseminar and bachelor thesis

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Application | Directly to the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
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.
