Computer Science - Dual-Subject Bachelor
Computer science is the science of systematic information processing using computers. As a basic science, it deals with the investigation and classification of problems in terms of their computability. As an engineering science, computer science enables the machine simulation of real processes by designing mathematical machines with which data can be transferred, stored and automatically processed using algorithms. As an auxiliary science of other subject areas, it represents objects in abstract structures and processes in algorithms.
In the dual-subject Bachelor, you study two core subjects or combine a major subject with a minor subject. Computer Science is offered as a core and minor subject. Please note the valid subject combinations.
If you wish to work as a secondary school teacher, you must follow your Bachelor's degree with the Master of Secondary Education (Gymnasium). You can find all information on the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs under Computer Science - Secondary Teacher Education (Gymnasium).
