Computer Science (B.Sc.)

Computer science sees itself as the science of systematic information processing with computers. As a modern science, it has had a stronger and more lasting influence on our life, work and leisure time than many other sciences over the past decades. The ever increasing number of multimedia, networked and embedded systems leads to ever shorter innovation cycles in industry, economy and society. New sub-areas and disciplines are emerging that require qualified specialists. This results in one of the most important challenges for the future: to make IT secure, reliable and manageable as well as socially compatible and socially acceptable for people. The computer science course not only conveys this knowledge, but also goes deep into the practice of computer science.

The Hochschule Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences is a university of applied sciences in Thuringia. It is idyllically located on the edge of the Thuringian Forest. The green campus is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Thuringia and Germany. All facilities such as lecture halls, laboratories, cafeteria, library, residential complexes and sports facilities are within walking distance. The students benefit from the diverse opportunities that studying at the university offers here: international orientation, excellent teaching, a wide range of subjects, modern equipment, guaranteed living space and an attractive university town.

Under the umbrella of the five faculties of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, economics and business law, the Hochschule Schmalkalden Sciences offers a wide range of study opportunities. The practical relevance and the good facilities at the university are the most frequently mentioned reasons for choosing to study in Schmalkalden. Forms of training such as project studies and practical phases are just as natural as small learning groups and close contact with the teachers.
