Description/content

Are you interested in studying computer science at Ulm University of Applied Sciences?

We are pleased to welcome you here! To provide you with useful information, we organise online seminars on a regular basis before the application period ends. You will find our upcoming events here: https://studium.hs-ulm.de/de/org/I/ahead/Seiten/Studiengang_CTS_FAQ.aspx.

Do you want to experience the diversity of computer science in English? That is not a problem with the degree programme Computer Science (CTS). The degree programme is aimed at both home and international applicants who wish their course to be taught in English. You may structure your programme individually, by selecting two focus topics in line with your interests.

The degree programme CTS is characterised by its focus on both modern methods for designing software systems and methods for designing processor-supported hardware. Particular consideration is given to aspects of modelling complex technical systems and model-driven software and system development.

In line with international practice for Bachelor's degree programmes, the programme can be completed in eight semesters. This gives you the latitude to pursue your own interests in-depth with a total of six elective courses as an integral part of your programme. Furthermore, professional command of the German language is one of the fundamental outcomes of this programme, so there will be a German language module placed in each of the first three semesters.

As a seamless further qualification, Ulm University of Applied Sciences additionally offers the Master's programme "Intelligent Systems".
