Content
Information technology is changing rapidly. New applications, programs and devices are constantly coming onto the market. The demands on flexibility and creativity of computer scientists are increasing. In the Bachelor's programme in Computer Science with a focus on Communication and Media in Computer Science (KMI), students first learn the technical and methodological basics of computer science including the common programming languages. Theoretical and practical software development is a focal point of the curriculum. While hardware-related programming is given a somewhat lower priority than in the regular Bachelor's programme, the focus is on social and communicative skills such as team reflection. In addition, students are trained in design in order to develop products with a higher usability. More detailed information on the programme can be found at the website of the Faculty of Computer Science.
Perspective
Graduates have excellent career prospects and can be employed in all areas of computer science. This includes:
- Software development/design, testing and maintenance
- System consulting and training
- Development, support of databases and networks
- Reliability and security of software and hardware.
Building on the Bachelor's degree, the following Master's programme is possible:
Computer Science - Master of Science
Computer Science - Master of Science (dual)
Structure
KMI students attend the same courses as students on the traditional computer science bachelor's programme. However, the KMI programme sets its own accents with project-based courses. In the very first semester, a project helps to form learning groups for the entire degree programme. The first two semesters also focus on the basics of computer science. In the third and fourth semesters, students can choose from compulsory elective modules in cooperation with the Media department. Interactive products are developed in these modules. The Bachelor's thesis is usually written in a company. A detailed presentation of the course contents can be found in the module manual (German).
Access
The programme is not admissions restricted (no NC), but proof of completion of an online self-assessment for enrolment must be provided. You can find further information at www.fbi.h-da.de/osa.
Among other things, these school-leaving qualifications are regarded as admission requirements:
- General qualification for university entrance
- Subject-related higher education entrance qualification valid in Hessen
- Advanced technical college entrance qualification valid in Hessen
Various competences and skills are required for a successful study of computer science. These include:
- Mathematical-logical and abstract thinking
- the willingness and ability to familiarise yourself with complex topics and to want to get to the bottom of them
- Independent, careful and result-oriented work
