Computer Science
(Bachelor of Science)

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.

• An interest in mathematics
• A technical flair
• Ability to think logically

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.
