Students can choose their own specialisation (e.g. artificial intelligence, mechatronic systems); Many elective modules, e.g. project work; Integration of student project work into research projects already available in the bachelor's degree programmes; Highly interdisciplinary projects; All courses offer a practical semester, which can be completed entirely abroad. Individual modules, projects or final theses can also be completed abroad.

Projects, final theses or placement on current research projects

The focus of research at the Institute of Software Systems (ISS) at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld is on the development and application of information technology that is aligned with sustainability and resource efficiency. Research is characterised

The environmental campus is ranked number 1 in Germany and number 6 in the world in the global GreenMetric ranking index, which provides a holistic assessment of the sustainability activities of universities. All Computer Science degree courses are closely linked. Students are able not only to take advantage of opportunities and projects from related degree courses. Interdisciplinary projects beyond subject boundaries also form an integral part of the degree course. Working together with engineers and business economists on an interdisciplinary project is inspiring and very good preparation for professional life.
