Bachelor’s in Applied Computer Science - Cooperative Degree
The cooperative Bachelor’s degree program in Applied Computer Science leads to a first professional qualification - the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) after 7 semesters of study
The language of instruction is German.
Practical experience is embedded into the cooperative Bachelor's degree course, with modules totalling 50 ECTS of the overall 210 ECTS of the Bachelor's being acquired in cooperation with the student's employer. From the 3rd semester onwards, the students are firmly integrated within their companies.
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-quipped 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,
The integration of practical experience in the cooperative degree program provides students with a clear career perspective right from the start of their studies.
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.
