Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - In depth practical training, The Ulm Model

Work-study programme in Computer Science

The dual degree programme in Computer Science at Ulm University of Applied Sciences (THU) combines computer science knowledge with practical experience in a company. If you are interested in artificial intelligence, digital technologies and innovative IT solutions, this programme offers you the opportunity to directly combine theory and practice.

During the practical phases, you will work directly within a company, developing software applications, programming digital systems or assisting with IT and automation projects. You will also analyse data and apply your knowledge from fields such as programming, software engineering, databases and IT security directly in practice.

The Computer Science programme can be completed as a dual study programme based on the Ulm model or with an in-depth practical component. The Ulm model also offers you recognised vocational training, for example as an electronics technician, IT specialist or mechatronics technician.

Computer Science - Advanced Practice

The degree course with in-depth practical automotive engineering starts in the winter semester. If you have already signed your contract before the start of your studies, you will first get to know your company during a short introductory phase of two to four weeks. Your studies will then begin directly at the university with the first lectures.

You will then alternate between theoretical and practical phases: You will study at THU during the lecture and examination periods, and gain valuable practical experience at the company during the lecture-free periods. You will also complete your practical semester and your Bachelor's thesis directly at your partner company.
