About this programme

Our goal is to prepare you for a career in Computer Science, in particular to be able to work on topics of utmost importance to humanity and society in multinational teams. You will be proficient in German and English, both for your professional life and your integration into German society and its industry. Our aim is that you will have a command of both languages and will even be able to switch between them mid-sentence! COMMUNICATION IS KEY – GO FOR IT! You will have taken the same mandatory courses in BiBa as those required in a regular computer science programme. Your "minor“ subject will typically be German. Furthermore, you will take a couple of elective courses and thus be prepared for working in your profession as a computer scientist. You will be able to attain a good livelihood – COMPUTING PAYS! You are going to work on the truly important "grand challenges“ of our time. As these are not confined to a single country, they can only be tackled through multinational teams. In general, those work in English, while the all-important small talk is done in the regional / national language. Examples of the topics of such "grand challenges" include the environment (global warming), cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. This is COMPUTING WITHOUT BORDERS! You will be able to work within Germany or abroad in collaboration with German partners. Alternatively, you will be able to continue your education in a Master’s degree or even a doctorate in Germany or abroad.
