Prerequisites
Bachelor
The admission requirements are designed in such a way that graduates of other Bachelor's degree programmes from other computer science disciplines can also take up studies at colleges, universities or a vocational academy. The prerequisite for the scope of study is based on the previously acquired ECTS points and is set at 210. If this limit is not reached, missing ECTS credits must be made up during the Master's programme in the form of suitable modules from the Bachelor's degree programmes in consultation with the examination board.
It is a two-stage selection process. The selection is made in the first stage on the basis of the application documents submitted by the applicants. Selected applicants then have the opportunity to present their aptitude and motivation in an admission interview at the university and to get to know the degree programme and the university. An appointment will be made by telephone.
Applicants who have acquired a university entrance qualification outside the Federal Republic of Germany must have their university entrance qualification checked by the Studienkolleg Konstanz (opens in a new tab). This will check the university entrance qualification according to the evaluation proposals (ZaB). Information on the guidelines can be obtained from the Studienkolleg.
