Computer Science (Bachelor)
© Universität Wien / Barbara Mair
The bachelor’s programme in Computer Science provides students with an academic education, encompassing theory, specialised knowledge and practical knowledge in the area of computer science. Students learn how to apply methods and tools from the area of computer science, contribute to research and the further development of research in the field, and use methods, procedures, tools and systems from the field of computer science to solve problems of practical relevance.
The degree programme can either focus on a broad range of subject areas, allowing students to familiarise themselves with different areas of specialisation.
These include algorithms, computer graphics, data analysis, information management and systems, Internet computing and software technologies, multimedia, networks and parallel computing. Alternatively, students can specialise in one of the following specialisation subjects: data science, media informatics, medical informatics, scientific computing.
