Computer science is the science of systematic and automated processing of information. It deals with the structures, characteristics and possibilities to describe information and information processing as well as the setup, working method, and construction principles of computer systems. General procedural methods of information processing and general methods of their application are researched. The program contents include the development of modern experimental and product-oriented information processing systems. Computer science can be divided into the areas of theoretical computer science, practical computer science, technical computer science as well as applied computer science.

Students will deal with the possibilities of structuring, formalization, and mathematization of application areas in the form of special models and simulations. They will acquire knowledge in the engineering development of software systems for different areas of application with special consideration of high adaptability and the man-computer interaction of such systems.

The program aims to convey extensive knowledge in the subject of computer science in theory and practice as well as with reference to an application subject. This comprises methods to solve application problems and their realization in an appropriate computer form.
