If you are interested in computer science and enjoy working with children and young people, you will find an ideal combination in the Teaching Qualification in Computer Science. Computer science is everywhere – hardly any other science permeates all areas of our lives to this extent. This steadily growing importance of computer systems also increases the relevance of computer science as a school subject for all school forms and ages – and thus the need for well-trained computer science teachers.
