Master of Science in Computer Science Bingen University of Applied Sciences

Throughout the course of study, you will gain the qualifications required to plan, develop, maintain, integrate, and operate software-intensive systems in real-world environments.

Elective modules are available to allow for specialisation and the individualisation of your academic profile. These modules enable you to acquire additional expertise, for example, in cryptography, artificial intelligence, advanced software engineering, leadership, management, or personal development.

A secondary focus of the Master’s programme is on developing theoretical knowledge and practical skills for conducting scientific work. Upon successful completion of the programme, you will also be well prepared to pursue an academic career, including doctoral studies.

First semester:

• Architecture of Information Systems (6 credits)
• Systems Analysis (6 credits)
• Artificial Intelligence (6 credits)
• Two required elective courses (6 credits each)

Second semester:

• Higher Mathematics (6 credits)
• Database Systems (Advanced) (6 credits)
• Scientific Seminar (6 credits)
• Two required elective courses (6 credits each)

Third semester:

• Master’s thesis (30 credits)

Degree

The admission requirements for the Master’s degree course in Informatik / Computer Science are governed by Section 3 of the Examination Regulations. Under these regulations, you are required to have completed a Bachelor’s degree or Diplom in the field of computer science or a field closely related to computer science. Your final grade should be at least the German grade of "gut" (good) or the recognised foreign equivalent thereof.

In individual justified cases, it is possible to deviate from this regulation. If you believe this may apply to you, please contact the course adviser for more information.

To be eligible for our programme, you typically need to have completed a minimum of 210 ECTS credit points in your Bachelor's degree. However, in some cases, we may consider your application with 180 ECTS credit points if your Bachelor's programme closely aligns with our curriculum and meets our academic expectations.

Additional Requirements for International Applicants

For studying in Germany, you need to obtain an entrance qualification that is also called "Hochschulzugangsberechtigung". For a Master's programme, you need a Bachelor's degree. If you received your Bachelor's degree from a university in another country, it is necessary to obtain an equality certificate ("Gleichwertigkeitsbescheinigung"). As part of this process, your GPA is also converted to our system and printed on that certificate.

Equality attestation and GPA conversion are handled by our partner uni-assist e.V. 

Experience

For the Master's in Computer Science, the following basics from a Bachelor's degree must be proven:

• Software Engineering. In particular, this includes extensive programming skills and experience in software planning and quality assurance.
• Technologies of Computer Science. This includes central concepts and systems such as databases, operating systems and computer architectures.
• Theoretical Informatics

Semester fee: approximately 240 EUR (including student ID card and student transit pass)
