Overview

Computers are everywhere. They can already do a lot: computers paved the way for things like the internet, climate change simulations, video games, and personalized healthcare. At the same time, we still face many challenges that need better computers. That’s why computer scientists continue to push the limits of what these systems can do.

As a computer scientist, you think of clever new ways to optimize the performance of all sorts of computers. The bachelor’s programme in Computer Science teaches you how to achieve that through software. We prepare you for a career as for example software developer, security specialist, app developer, high-performance computing specialist, and more.

Programme Structure

The curriculum consists of courses, projects and modules. In the first two years, you can expect to spend around 16 hours a week on courses, 4 hours a week on projects and another 20 weekly hours on studying independently. Year 3 of the programme follows a different structure. It starts with an elective semester and concludes with the bachelor’s thesis.

You can expect to follow courses such as:

* Data Structures and Algorithms

*Objects in Programming

*Database Architectures

*Object-oriented Modelling

*Linear Algebra

*Discrete Mathematics
