The Bachelor's Programme
In the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Information and Computer Engineering, you benefit from exposure to internationally recognised lecturers. You will learn how to design, implement and operate complex hardware and software systems in the field of information technology and telecommunications in both national and international contexts. The systems you develop are used, for example, in smartphones, complex industrial plants and automated vehicles.
Since the degree programme combines many aspects of computer science and electrical engineering, various practical courses are offered in which hardware and software systems are heavily referenced. For example, you have the possibility to create a complete operating system or a microcontroller for embedded systems and to apply it in your own projects. You will also gain insights into topics such as the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, eHealth, automated driving, smart devices and much more.In individual projects and seminars, you will also have the opportunity to tackle a topic intensively over a longer period of time. In addition, you can gain practical experience that will help you in your future career or do a study abroad within the framework of the free-choice courses or work on research projects as part of your bachelor's thesis work.
