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 Media Informatics Computer Engineering Navigation and Environmental Robotics 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.
