General description of the degree program Name Degree awarded: Level of qualification Qualification requirements and regulations Key learning outcomes: Profile of the program: Occupational profiles of graduates Program duration: Pre-study work experience: Computer Science, Media and Communications Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in Computer Science, Media and Communications first-cycle n/a Graduates of this program focus on the interface between man and application, transforming everyday computer science applications to be more user-friendly. They are familiar with the processes of communication and networking, being able to apply this for innovative solutions. Graduates have: technical knowledge in computer science aligned to industrial requirements, methodical and analytical competences qualified for self-contained problem solving, key qualifications like presentation of results, ability to work in a team, management competence, interdisciplinary work The program combines traditional computer science subjects with creative and media training, taught as a mixture of theoretical knowledge and practical application. Cooperation with software companies and research institutions is given high importance. Specialization: Student can choose from individual elective courses from 6 th semester onwards. The inter-sectorial curriculum contents offer a wide spectrum concerning career opportunities. Besides common informatics related branches also broad markets in the fields of e. g. advertising agencies, gaming software companies, internet agencies as well as software producers are potential employers. 7 semesters / 20 ECTS Including an internship and the Bachelor Thesis Not required Specific admission requirements: General or subject specific university entrance qualification or comparable entrance qualification; voluntary assessment. For students from abroad: proof of satisfactory knowledge of German. Specific arrangements for recognition of prior learning Ranking is created using weighted grades for the university entrance qualification (factor 6) and individual subjects of mathematics (factor 2), German or corresponding language for a foreign entrance qualification (factor ), English (factor ). Additional selection criteria take the form of how well-motivated the students are for the study program, study-related school and vocational training, foreign language skills and periods spent abroad. Up to 0 bonus points can be given. Vocational training at Meister level or acquired at a school for further vocational training, together with an interview at HsKA, will be recognized as equivalent to university entrance qualification. 2-year vocational training followed by 3-year occupation in a related job, together with an interview at HsKA and an eligibility exam at Konstanz University of Applied Sciences, will be recognized as equivalent to university entrance qualification. Results achieved in theory or practical courses of an academic degree program at a recognized higher education institution can be transferred to HsKA according to ECTS recognition procedures upon express request, if the Board of Examiners acknowledges these results to be
comparable in terms of level, subject content and extent. Prior learning must be in a similar or related subject. Traineeship semester: Start of program: Application deadline: Language of instruction: Mode of study: 4 th semester is traineeship semester In summer semester and in winter semester 5 January for application into summer semester 5 July for application into winter semester German Some subject-specific lectures are in English Full-time The applicant should: - Be interested in design and creative aspects of systematic problem solving, - be able to solve problems in an abstract manner, - be able to work in interdisciplinary teams.
