Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The Bachelor's programme in Applied Computer Science at JLU is particularly aimed at prospective students who, in addition to the mathematical foundations of computer science, want to learn and implement programming, software development and specialised algorithms in a concrete, application-oriented environment using modern methods. The six-semester Bachelor's programme teaches software engineering and advanced methods of object-oriented programming as well as the concepts of scientific modelling, artificial intelligence and modern data analysis. Advanced aspects of supposedly standard topics such as database systems, operating systems, technical computer science and IT security complete the view of applied computer science as a whole. An integral part of the degree programme is also the choice of a specialisation from the second year onwards, within the framework of which the application orientation is profiled according to individual and subject-specific inclinations and career aspirations using specific subject areas such as bioinformatics, neuroinformatics, smart cities or physical measurement methods, but also algorithms, software engineering or artificial intelligence, right up to the Bachelor's thesis.
