Programme Objectives:

Computer science is a complex, creative and fascinating field. Computer scientists develop complex systems where men and machines act together. Information processing and communication flows within these systems are configured and further developed by computer scientists.

We can find such systems everywhere in our modern life, whether it is a mobile phone, a computer network, a vehicle, a computer-assisted tomograph, a manufacturing plant or a company. For each of these systems it is necessary to analyze the processes, targets and user needs, to develop conceptual designs, models and simulations, to implement or provide components that shall be integrated into the system environment. 

The Bachelor’s program “Computer Science” qualifies students for this exciting and challenging field, but also for a further develpment beyond their professional career. Special attention is given to the scientific and applied character of the program contents.    

Programme Overview:

The program “Computer Science” consists of two modules. The first two theoretical semesters will be completed by an introduction and orientation exam. The second module includes four theoretical semesters and a practical semester.

The program aims to educate students to think in terms of computer science i.e. in models, algorithms, parallel processes, layers and architectures. Students develop a comprehensive understanding of the methods and principles of Computer Science. Programming, software engineering, computer architecture, operating systems, database systems, knowledge-based systems, computer networks, web technologies and IT security are only some of the major fields of study.
 
Most disciplines include lab courses. Students will work in the modern equipped laboratories of our university. The applied character of the program is supported by project studies that enable students to work in team and together with companies on operational problems.
 
Besides the subject-related competencies, students enhance competence in Mathematics, Business Administration and English and develop various social, individual and media skills.
 
Furthermore, students may choose a subject according to their individual needs from a large number of technical elective subjects or they may consolidate their knowledge in disciplines like Robotics, Mobile Communication, Virtual Reality, Cryptology, IT-Forensics, Business Information Systems, Medical Information Systems.
 
The program will be completed after seven semesters with the degree “Bachelor of Science”. Graduates can apply for a “Master of Science” or a “Master of Engineering” at Ingolstadt University. Depending on the Bachelor’s degree, they might have to attend additional qualification courses. The Master‘s degree is the required qualification for a doctoral program.   

Admission:

Admission is possible only for winter semester (October 1). Application period is between May and June 15. Application shall be submitted directly to Ingolstadt University. On our website you can find all information you might need for  application. 

Tuition and student service fees shall be paid for each semester.

Occupational Image:

Computer science is the key to the future. That’s why computer scientists enjoy excellent long-term opportunities on a growing job market. Their career profiles range from hardware and software development of individual and integrated information systems to system architecture and project management.
