Course Description
Code is the language of every modern industry, and this program teaches you to speak it fluently. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Schiller International University in Heidelberg pairs a U.S.-accredited curriculum with a European campus in Heidelberg, so you build software, design secure systems and work with the tools professional developers actually use: Python, Java, SQL, GitHub, Apache Spark and Power BI. Small classes, industry-active faculty and project work from the first year keep theory tied to practice, while a condensed two-day teaching week leaves room for internships and certifications. You graduate technically confident and internationally mobile.

Career Prospects
The program suits internationally minded school leavers with solid mathematical ability, solid English skills, and real curiosity about how software and systems work. No prior programming experience is needed, but you should enjoy logical problem solving, technical teamwork and studying in English. It fits anyone aiming at developer, data or security roles, and anyone wanting a degree recognized on both sides of the Atlantic.
Year one covers shared general education, from programming foundations and mathematics to problem solving and an introduction to big data and AI, so switching major stays possible. Specialist courses follow: algorithms, object-oriented programming, database and operating systems, networks, machine learning, AI, computer security and mobile applications. Integrative projects, a two-part capstone and electives complete the path.
This is a four-year, full-time bachelor's degree taught in English, worth 120 American credits, equivalent to 240 ECTS. Classes are concentrated into an intensive schedule of roughly six hours on two days per week, leaving the rest of your week free for internships, workshops, and student projects. After the first year you may transfer to Schiller's Madrid, Paris, or Tampa campus, and dual-degree tracks can be added.
Computer science graduates move into roles that exist in every sector, and this degree's mix of programming, data and security skills keeps several of those doors open at once.
Software developer or full-stack engineer at product companies and IT service providers

One day, I came across Schiller University, and it seemed like a perfect fit for me. I was particularly excited to discover that they had campuses in multiple locations, including one in Tampa, where my dad lived.
Schillerโs unique schedule allowed me to build a strong CV and compete for jobs in Europe and the United States.
My experience of coming to the Schiller Heidelberg Campus and adapting to the local culture has been incredibly rewarding. Despite some challenges in the transition, being part of a smaller private university provided me with ample opportunities for personal and academic growth.
I think globally, and I work globally and that is what the whole preparation at Schiller set me to.
It was a very practical education, you get to experience it and you learn by doing, it is not about learning by heart but about seeing it and experiencing it.
