Overview

The Computer Science programme from University of Applied Sciences Ulm is characterised by its focus on both modern methods for designing software systems and methods for designing processor-supported hardware. Particular consideration is given to aspects of modelling complex technical systems and model-driven software and system development.

In line with international practice for Bachelor's degree programmes, the programme can be completed in eight semesters. This gives you the latitude to pursue your own interests in-depth with a total of six elective courses as integral part of your programme. Furthermore, professional command of the German language is one of the fundamental outcomes of this programme, so there will be a German language module placed in each of the first three semesters.

Career prospects

As a computer scientist, you will be needed to design, analyse and, depending on the application conditions, adapt information processing systems in a qualified and responsible way. Later on, you will be able to take on research, development and project management tasks just as well as service and consultancy activities. You can find employment in institutes and companies specialising in data processing and computer technology (hardware and software), those providing IT services, or in consulting companies. However, due to the proliferation of technology, you will also be sought-after in the health sector or in administration.

The career prospects for Computer Science graduates are currently excellent and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The Cologne Institute for Economic Research reported in its "STEM spring report 2015", that the demand for workers in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) sector was more than a total of 47 per cent across Germany in April 2015. This particularly applies to the economic hub of Ulm, where numerous – also international – companies are located, such as the Daimler Research Centre, Siemens or Airbus Defence & Space. These are among the potential employers for graduates of computer science degree programmes.
