In addition to a solid basic education, the bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Heidelberg University is characterized by the fact that the students have a lot of freedom to structure their studies according to their interests and abilities. For this purpose, computer science, together with many lecturers from other faculties, offers a large number of specialization opportunities in Computer Science and in interdisciplinary areas as well as corresponding work opportunities in the Computer Science working groups.
You have the choice between a 100% per cent in computer science or a 50% per cent in combination with another subject, both programs are taught in German. The 50% program is particularly important if you intend to study to become a teacher. This choice contains the same canon of core lectures in Computer Science and also ensures a sound basic education.
The admission requirements for the 100% BSc Computer Science and the 50% BSc Computer Science are the same. Note that the language of instruction for both programs of study is German. Details about the application process can be found below.
