Computer science is everywhere: more than almost any other science, it permeates almost all areas of our lives. Even and especially where no one can see it – hidden in telephone exchanges, cell phones, cars and household appliances – it directs, regulates, measures and warns. IT enables ever smaller products and ever faster processes. It is of central importance for Germany’s future economic competitiveness.
The Applied Computer Science degree program is innovative because it includes interdisciplinary application knowledge from several areas. Through interdisciplinary exercises and projects, it prepares students for everyday professional life at an early stage, as applied computer scientists work closely with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, economists and linguists.
