Computer Science
Computer science - that is the fascination of opening up the world of information and symbolized knowledge and making it available for service. Computer science means developing new and better methods and algorithms to master the complex world of information, to reliably control processes, to globally network companies or to further simplify human-computer interaction. Computer science offers the stimulus to create and master new models of thought, to develop new forms of description for software and algorithms, and to recognize fundamental limits of computability, to name but a few. Computer science enables multimedia communication everywhere, at any time and immediately. From a technical and methodological point of view, computer science is mainly concerned with the analysis, design and implementation of information processing systems and their adaptation to given application conditions. This includes software and its creation, but also applications, organisational structures and hardware. Often a general solution of a problem has to be adapted to the special needs of the users.
In addition to sound computer science expertise, knowledge of the application areas is also necessary in order to understand and implement user requirements and to be able to work with experts in other areas.
Job description and labour market
Graduates of the computer science courses are offered employment opportunities in public and private research institutions as well as as as project managers in software development. They take responsibility for the development, procurement and adaptation of hardware and software to solve special problems or analyse, design and develop new procedures, algorithms and information systems for trade and industry. Also a consulting activity for companies as well as the education and training of users belong to the possible fields of application.
Structure of the study programme
Initially, all students go through a basic education in mathematics/computer science, which includes the topics Fundamentals of Computer Science, Algorithms and Data Structures, Programming, Software Engineering, Databases, Operating Systems, Distributed Systems and Fundamentals of Mathematics. From the second year onwards, depending on the field of study, the focus is then on content from the respective areas.
