The course of study
The Bachelor's programme in Computer Science provides broad foundations in computer science as well as a specialisation in a specialisation area. In the first three semesters, various programming and modelling languages are learned, as well as mathematical, theoretical and technical basics. Based on this, in-depth fundamentals of computer science are covered, e.g. computer architectures, computer networks, operating systems, software technology, database systems and machine learning, as well as three (hard and software) internships. In addition to the bachelor thesis, 20-25% of the study volume reserved for an area of application or specialisation. You can choose between Embedded Systems, Visual Computing, Complex and Intelligent Software Systems and Medical Informatics.

Career prospects
A computer science degree offers a variety of career opportunities in different fields. However, the logical-analytical skills of computer scientists are also highly valued far beyond classical areas, so that computer scientists are among the highest-paid specialists worldwide. Locally, there are many hidden champions in Siegen-Wittgenstein and thus a high potential for exciting jobs in close proximity to the university.
This is what Hannah Dröge says about her course of study:
“My decision to study computer science at the University of Siegen was great!”

I felt comfortable from the first semester and, by choosing my specialisation ‘Visual Computing’, I was able to deal with exactly the topics that interested me most – in my case, the processing of digital images using artificial intelligence methods. In my further courses we were partly under 10 students, whereby the professors knew all students personally/namely. This has enabled me to write my thesis at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through the contact of a professor with a colleague in the USA and then to do my doctorate thanks to the research experience gained there!
Admission requirements
The B.Sc. Computer science begins in the winter and summer semesters. Requirements for access are the general university entrance qualification, the subject-specific university entrance qualification or the technical college entrance qualification. Applicants with a subject-specific university entrance qualification or a technical college entrance qualification must meet certain entry requirements: Information on application and enrolment
Will also be as practice-integrated dual course of study offered (study + practical work in the company).
