Overview
Bachelor's programs aim to provide a basic academic education with a broad scope of methodology and content.
They usually last six semesters and require students to earn 180 ECTS credits. These are made up of a major study program (150 ECTS credits) and a minor study program (30 ECTS credits).
The major study program is made up of an assessment level and an advanced level.
The assessment level (60 ECTS credits) covers the basics of informatics, business and economics, mathematics, and statistics, while the general compulsory program at the advanced level focuses on key topics in informatics as well as teaching the basics of scientific methods.
At the same time, students begin studying specific fields.
The Software Systems area of concentration requires them to complete compulsory modules, core elective modules, and elective modules in software-related subjects within informatics. The study program culminates in a Bachelor's thesis comprising 18 ECTS credits.
