Requirements
Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in computer science.
Minimum standard period of study: 3 years.
The proof of special specialist knowledge in the fields of Practical, Theoretical and Applied computer science shall be provided by an aptitude test or if necessary by an aptitude interview.
If at the time of application, proof of the first degree qualifying the applicant for a profession is not yet available, the application will be considered under the precondition that 80% of the credit points attainable for the degree have already been achieved based on completed module examinations or the final thesis and the colloquium (if applicable). A certification from the awarding institute of higher education (examination office) serves as proof of the above-mentioned academic achievements.
Transcripts of records indicating "very good" (based on scored marks and/or grades) achievements in the following computer science-related areas: Operating Systems, Networks and Distributed Systems, Database Systems, Software Engineering, and at least "good" (based on scored marks and/or grades) achievements in subjects like Algorithms and Data Structures, Foundations of Programming, Computer Architecture as well as Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. Your transcript must show a strong emphasis on these areas, i.e., you must have taken the majority of the corresponding courses during your bachelor's.
Additionally, you are expected to have some programming skills. Therefore, labs or assessments during your studies, internships, work experience as well as (open-source) projects and contributions to such or software which you have verifiably developed or contributed to are countеd.
No minimum GPА.
