The bachelor's degree is the first professional qualification. The standard period of study is six semesters, during which various forms of courses (e.g. seminars, lectures or exercises) are offered for the individual modules.
A multi-subject bachelor’s programme consists of a major subject with 120 credit points (CP for short; 1 CP = 30 hours for attendance, preparation and follow-up work, private study, assessed coursework and examinations) and a minor subject with 60 CP.
Our programme comprises compulsory modules conveying basic knowledge, and required elective modules (5th/6th semester). These give you the opportunity to choose focal points. This minor subject can be combined with all major subjects.
I made a very conscious decision to study Computer Science as a minor, because the importance of computer science will continue to increase in the future, and it has an influence on all areas of society.
