Artificial intelligence, networked systems and cyber security will shape digitalisation in the coming years – and this requires people who know their craft. On the Master’s programme in Applied Computer Science (M.Sc.), you will deepen your knowledge in precisely these areas: with a high level of specialisation and a clear focus on the human factor.
The programme combines in-depth academic study with practical application. You will acquire sound specialist knowledge in your chosen area of specialisation as well as theoretical scientific skills – and apply your knowledge directly to specific business scenarios.
Computer science is no longer a male-dominated field – certainly not at Worms University of Applied Sciences. We place great importance on a study environment that is equally open to all genders and in which diverse perspectives enrich academic exchange.
Mobile applications for smartphones and tablets are designed and developed by mobile app developers. They implement user requirements from a technical perspective, integrate interfaces and ensure reliable and user-friendly operation across various mobile platforms.
The protection of IT systems, networks and data is at the heart of a cybersecurity engineer’s work. They analyse security risks, develop protective measures and monitor systems to prevent digital attacks and security breaches.
Large and complex datasets are analysed using statistical and computational methods. Data scientists develop models, identify patterns and correlations, and use these insights for purposes such as forecasting or automated decision-making.
Technically complex IT and software projects are planned, co-ordinated and overseen right through to implementation. IT project managers combine technical expertise with organisational skills and manage teams, resources, deadlines and project objectives.
Interaction design focuses on how people interact with digital systems. Interaction designers develop concepts for intuitive and understandable interactions and design digital applications with a view to user needs and technological possibilities.
Mit meinem Abschluss wurde ich bei meinem Partnerbetrieb übernommen, bei dem ich nun als DevOps Engineer an einer internen Entwicklungsplattform arbeite. Privat experimentiere ich immer mal wieder an Projekten im Kontext von Entwicklungswerkzeugen wie Lintern oder Language Servern. Aktuell genieße ich ein wenig die Ruhe, aber ein Masterstudium ist trotzdem in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft auf meiner Agenda.
On the Master’s programme in Applied Computer Science, you will deepen your specialist knowledge and work on current IT topics in a practical context. You will choose a specialisation:
At the start of the programme, you will focus on academic research, seminars and the ‘Digitalisation & Sustainability’ module.
During the first two semesters, the System Development project will prepare you for complex IT tasks. You will go through the entire software development cycle, from the initial idea to the finished application.
In the compulsory elective modules and deep-dive projects, you will explore specialised IT topics in greater depth. These include, for example, artificial intelligence, networks, mobile applications and visual computing.
Practical projects and up-to-date case studies complement the course modules. You will apply your knowledge to real-world tasks from the IT sector.
In the final semester, you will complete your degree with a Master’s thesis. You will undertake this as a professional or research-based project, often in collaboration with a company.
After graduation, you can enter the workforce straight away. Starting your own business is also an option. Computer science skills are utilised across many industries.
CP = Credit Points: Das sind die Punkte, die du dir während eines Studiums verdienen musst, um deinen Abschluss zu bekommen. Am Ende müssen es mindestens 180 CP sein, dann bist du Bachelor. Wenn du die Variante mit 210 CP wählst, kannst du den Master in Angewandte Informatik direkt anschließen.
Apply now and combine theory with practice. We look forward to receiving your application!
Modern computer labs with the latest hardware and software offer you the opportunity to work hands-on and try out the latest technologies. In addition, well-equipped group study rooms are available in a central location - ideal for students and teaching staff.
At the Department of Computer Science, you can expect a particularly personalised and practical learning environment. Small study groups ensure an excellent student-teacher ratio.
Lecturers with experience in the industry bring practical case studies, agile development methods and real-life use cases into the classroom so that theoretical knowledge can be directly linked to practical scenarios.
You can bring your ideas to life in the Makerspace of the Department of Computer Science! Whether tinkering, inventing or creative projects - here you will find everything you need to give free rein to your creativity.
