This bachelor’s degree programme imparts a sound basic knowledge in classical computer science, including practical, theoretical and technical areas. Through lectures, practical exercises and independent projects, students acquire a broad foundation of computer science basics and develop a systematic, structured way of thinking and working.

Following the foundation course, there is a two-semester specialisation phase which allows for an elected concentration within a broad spectrum of computer science subjects, including algorithms and data structures, software engineering, information systems, computer graphics, networks, embedded systems and artificial intelligence.

Students are taught the most modern methodologies for analysing fields of application as well as designing, developing and employing information systems. This means that new graduates are already capable of participating in the development and implementation of new technologies. They also possess a foundation of knowledge in computer science that enables them to continue their education throughout their entire career, keeping up with the rapid technological developments in the field of computer science.

In addition to studying the core elements of computer science, students acquire skills in an applied elective subject (eg medicine, electrical engineering, biology or economics), thereby gaining insight into the terminology, methodology and mentality in other scientific areas and special application fields.

This bachelor’s degree programme culminates in a career-qualifying degree and, at the same time, serves as a prerequisite for admission into a consecutive master’s degree programme.

Semester abroad? Why not! Our exchange programmes offer various opportunities to meet people from different cultures and improve your language and intercultural skills. It is well worth your time to go abroad and expand your horizon, both on a personal and professional level.

The many international students on our campus also create an international flair.  The <link en/io/ - internal-link "Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen Fenster">International Office</link> is here to support both incoming and outgoing students. The International Office offers international prospective students who wish to apply for a German-taught study programme at Ulm University, <link en/io/degree-phd/prospective-students/preparatory-course/ - internal-link "Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen Fenster">a preparatory course</link>.
