Samwel, Computer Science, B.Sc.

Compute with a purpose: Computer science is closely linked to other sciences and therefore often goes hand in hand with them.
On the Applied Computer Science degree course, you will therefore learn how to use computer science as a tool in various disciplines to solve real-world problems.
You can combine subjects such as engineering informatics, bioinformatics, neuroinformatics, robotics or computational linguistics according to your own interests and learn to apply your skills in an interdisciplinary way in a wide range of industries.

Protect our society: the more digital the world and the more sensitive the data processed, the greater both the dangers and the consequences of cyberattacks.
Learn how to use modern IT security methods to put a stop to cyber criminals and always be one step ahead of them.
You will also help to build trust in technology.
As a graduate, all doors are open to you, because Bochum is the European flagship for cutting-edge research and teaching in the field of IT security.
