Bachelor's in Applied Computer Science
The Bachelor’s degree program in Applied Computer Science leads to a first professional qualification - the Bachelor or Science (B.Sc.) after 7 semesters of study
The language of instruction is German.
The University of Applied Sciences Erfurt has a family atmosphere: small classes, direct contact to the professors, lab engineers and support staff. All lectures are accompanied by practical sessions and seminars in well-equipped labs so that the students can look into the subject matter in more depth. Projects in small teams enable the students to put the knowledge they have acquired into practice, Early opportunities to meet useful contacts in the industry and business world make it easier for our students to find their way into the world of work.
Program Objective
To achieve this, students are given practice-oriented training in the knowledge and skills required in key areas of computer science. In addition to skills in technology, algorithms and programming, this also includes methodological skills for analysis, design and implementation.
From the 3rd semester onwards, students develop their theoretical and practical knowledge by choosing one of three fields of interest: Computer Science in Engineering, Media Computing or Business Information Technology.
This program, which combines general computer science knowledge with specific expertise, gives our graduates the best prospects for taking on important development tasks in companies and public institutions in their field of interest.

Specializations
After an orientation phase in the first two semesters, students acquire in-depth skills in the use of computer science in a specific field of application in the specialization phase (3rd to 7th semesters):
Media Computing
involves applying processes, methods, procedures and technologies of computer science in the field of media design, media production and media technology. The focus at FH Erfurt is on the evaluation, support, planning and development of digital web-based and multimedia services using state-of-the-art, user-friendly, interactive systems for companies, institutions, education and entertainment.
Computer Science in Engineering
looks at how IT processes, methods, procedures and technologies can be used in the field of engineering to develop and implement technical systems. The focus at FH Erfurt is on the evaluation, support, planning and development of complex, system-related, specialized hardware and software, in particular embedded systems, particularly in the field of building and industrial automation.
Business Information Technology
refers to the application of IT processes, methods, procedures and technologies in the business world. At FH Erfurt, the focus is on the evaluation, support, planning and development of IT systems in business and administrative organizations, in particular small and medium-sized companies.
Traffic Information Systems
is the application of IT procedures, methods, approaches and technologies in various areas of traffic and transport. The focus at FH Erfurt is on the evaluation, support, planning and development of IT systems and complex, system-related, specialized hardware and software systems, in particular embedded systems centred on roads as a mode of transport.
