Study Plus

With the Study Plus Computer Science programme, you can complete both a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (AIN) and vocational training as a mathematical engineering software developer in just four and a half years.

In the first four semesters, you'll be attending lectures and classes (university and vocational school) two days a week and spend three days a week in the training company. After two years, you'll take the final examination at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and complete your foundation course. This is followed by five further semesters in the advanced course, including a practical semester and the bachelor's thesis, which also take place in the training company.

As part of this Study Plus model, Furtwangen University cooperates with the Donaueschingen Commercial and Home Economics Schools as well as with numerous companies in the region.
