Computer Science
The study contents in Computer Science vary from university to university because each sets their own specialization. However, regardless of where you study, you will take the following foundation courses:
- Mathematics
- Algorithm
- Databases
- Software Engineering
- Communications Technology
- Programming
- Business
- Operating Systems and Computer Architecture
In higher semesters, you can choose a specialization, for example:
- Business Informatics
- Applied Computer Science
- Medical Informatics
- Bioinformatics

Computer Science is a very demanding study program. Many students underestimate the high proportion of mathematics in Computer Science. That’s why the dropout rates are high. Many universities now offer mathematics preparation courses. This gives you a solid foundation to kick off your studies.
A Bachelor's program usually lasts six to eight semesters. Your Bachelor’s thesis is usually a written essay. However, you may also take a practical examination instead. After your Bachelor's degree, you can continue to pursue a Master's degree, which has three to four semesters.
Exchange semesters are not mandatory but highly recommended. It can be an eye-opening and life-changing experience in many ways. Universities attach great importance to practical experience so you will have to complete a several-week internship and write a report on it.
You will need higher education entrance qualifications (Allgemeine oder Fachgebundene Hochschulreife) to study Computer Science. If your previous qualifications do not meet the German education system criteria, you will have to go to Studienkolleg first. Some universities may have admission restrictions (NC - Numerus Clausus) while at other universities, enrolment is sufficient to start your studies (Zulassungsfrei). Some universities also require your participation in an aptitude test or a letter of motivation. For further information, please check with the university of your choice.
You should master mathematics, physics, and computer science to study Computer Science. It is also important to have a high English proficiency as many scientific papers are in English. You should also have great communication skills to explain technical issues to your customers.
You can apply your Computer Science specialist know-how in various fields, including:
- automobile industry
- IT consulting
- public authorities
- mechanical engineering
- aerospace
- finance
- medical technology
- power industry
- military and secret service
- IT service provider
Depending on the industry and your employer, your tasks may include:
- systems analysis
- project planning
- process automation
- software engineering
- IT management
- quality management
- IT sales
Your salary depends on many factors, such as professional experience, skills, education, job titles, and company size, etc. The average gross salary of a computer scientist is €4,000 per month. In particularly lucrative sectors such as the automotive industry or IT consulting, however, top salaries of up to €10,000 gross per month are also possible.
