Structure

Practical Orientation

The goal of professional qualification through the bachelor's degree is an essential requirement in the Applied Computer Science course. Almost all modules consist of a lecture to impart specialist knowledge and a practical part in which the ability to directly apply what has been learned is trained. The small group sizes, around 20 people for internships, ensure direct contact with the lecturers and optimal support at all times. The Department of Computer Science at Hochschule Worms provides state-of-the-art laboratory technology for the course. All of our lecturers have both a scientific background and many years of experience in commercial enterprises.

 

Course Content

The general IT basics imparted build a solid basis for independent deepening of all technological facets, to the rapid development of which students have to react in their professional life. The work techniques practiced in the course also help. If students want to deepen and expand their knowledge after completing their bachelor’s degree, the master’s degree in Mobile Computing or Mobile Computing - dual at Hochschule Worms offers the right opportunity.

 

Individual Focus of Study

By choosing a qualification focus from the 3rd semester onwards, students can structure their studies according to their preferences. In addition, you can choose three additional modules from a business-related and attractive compulsory elective area. That means: You can put together 1/3 of your lectures in the Applied Computer Science course yourself!

Networks and Security

The “Networks and Security” qualification focus is increasingly on issues of infrastructure, i.e. in particular computer systems and networks that are required to provide today's network-based services.

Visual Computing

Visual Computing focuses on those parts of computer science that are in direct contact with humanoid users.

Software Engineering & Development

The modules in this specialization focus on classic IT topics that prepare students for the professional construction of complex software applications.
