Kurzbeschreibung
Computer Science involves information and automatic information processing. It is a fundamental science deeply rooted in mathematics, physics and electrical engineering. In this Bachelor’s degree programme, students learn the theoretical and practical basics of Computer Science. You can also choose a subsidiary subject. Students gain a solid grounding in the foundations of software and hardware. Programming is just one element of the Computer Science degree programme. Relevance to practice plays an important role throughout the programme. Building on sound basic knowledge, students may specialise in a wide range of subjects related to Computer Science, such as internet technologies, information systems, simulation and computer architecture.
Lehrinhalte
- Computational health informatics
- Databases and information systems
- Data science and digital libraries
- Digital education and didactics of computer science
- IT security and human-computer interaction
- Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing
- Management of scientific data
- Reliable and scalable software systems

In the course of the first three semesters, students mainly learn the fundamental principles, concepts and methods of computer science, as well as the necessary basic knowledge of mathematics and electrical engineering. In addition to purely technical knowledge, the software project also trains the ability to work in a team. In the further course of the programme, students can specialise to suit their individual interests. Students can choose from a large number computer science subjects:
- Operating Systems
- Computational Health Informatics
- Data Science
- Database Systems
- Electronic Design Automation
- Human-Centered Computing
- Information Retrieval
- Internet Technologies
- IT Security
- Artificial Intelligence
- Man-Computer Interaction
- Natural Language Processing
- Logical Design of Digital Systems
- Computer Architecture
- Scientific Data Management and Knowledge Graphs
- Simulation
- Software Engineering
- Game Development
- Theoretical Computer Science
- and Distributed Systems.
Students may additionally take a subsidiary subject (e.g. Business Administration, Cartography and Remote Sensing, Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, to name just a few) that establish a connection to later employment. Leibniz Universität Hannover’s lecture programme (Studium Generale) also enables students to touch on other university disciplines beyond their chosen subject. The Bachelor’s degree programme ends upon completion of the Bachelor’s thesis in the sixth semester.

Computer scientists are specialised in the acquisition, processing and presentation of information, making them sought-after experts throughout the world. As such, their areas of deployment are diverse, ranging from the development of all kinds of software systems to the administration of computer systems and networks, IT consultancy and sales. In practice, the job titles of computer science professionals are varied, including software developer, software engineer, system or applications programmer, database and web developer, network administrator and IT consultant.
