Computer Science dual (BSc)

Note: In the winter semester 2025/26, the Computer Science dual degree programme (B.Sc.) will change to the Computer Science cooperative degree programme (B.Sc.).  Further information will follow.

Programme content

The foundation course teaches methodological principles, systematic procedures and quality-orientated working techniques in computer science. Students are introduced to analytical and algorithmic thinking and deepen their knowledge of mathematics. The focus is on scientific work, programming, system development, networked computer systems and information security.

In the main study programme, students are trained in the areas of programming languages, operating systems and networks. In addition to choosing a specialisation, students can choose from various compulsory and compulsory elective subjects. The focus of the compulsory elective subjects must be in the area of information security. The module overview provides an overview of the modules and subjects covered in the respective semesters.

Practical relevance

Methodological knowledge is applied and further developed in projects and a 10-week practical phase in the main study programme. Courses and projects usually take place in small groups and are sometimes carried out on an interdisciplinary basis together with other departments or companies and institutions outside the university.

Thanks to the scientific institutions and innovative companies located in the Bonn-Rhine-Sieg scientific region, it offers an excellent framework for cooperation, especially for the realisation of practical projects and final theses.

Location

Thanks to an excellent public transport network, the Sankt Augustin campus is easy to reach from cities such as Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf and Koblenz. The semester ticket, which is paid for with the semester fee, offers students additional mobility benefits.
