Computer Engineering

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Computer Engineering is concerned with hardware and software in embedded systems. An embedded system is a computer that is integrated into a technical context. Many products, such as in automotive engineering, medical engineering, robotics and consumer electronics, are based on the combination of dedicated hardware platforms and software systems. Engineers who develop technologies and products with embedded systems therefore require fundamental knowledge in the areas of computer science and information technology, as well as the interactions between them. In this Bachelor's degree programme, students learn the theoretical and practical basics of computer science and information technology. Students gain a solid grounding in the foundations of software and hardware, whereby programming is just one element of the 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 and information technology, such as Internet Technologies, Multimedia Signal Processing, and Microelectronic Systems.
