- Description/content
- 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 industry. Our aim is that you will have a command of these two languages and will even be able to switch languages in mid-sentence! COMMUNICATION IS KEY – GO FOR IT!
• You will have taken the same required courses in computer science as those in a regular computer science programme. Your „minor“ subject will typically be German. You will take a couple of elective courses, less than in a regular programme, but this will not curtail your preparation for working in your profession as a computer scientist. You will be able to attain a good livelihood – COMPUTING PAYS!
• You will be able to work on the truly important „grand challenges“ of our time, because these are not confined to a single country, but can only be tackled through multinational teams – which generally work in English, while 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.
