The Data Science programme covers all aspects from data acquisition, data editing and data analysis to data-based machine learning, to the visualisation and implementation of data products. Advanced aspects such as the responsible handling of data are also part of the curriculum. In the final study year, a wealth of elective modules allows for the application of these fundamentals in the context of various specialised fields and sectors.

You will acquire both expert skills in basic disciplines such as computer science, statistics and mathematics, and the broad and interdisciplinary domain knowledge to develop innovative data products.

In this Bachelor’s programme, you can choose to study full time and graduate after three years, or part time, with a minimum of four years until graduation. If you choose a work-study track, we recommend your employment does not exceed three days a week during the semesters.

For students with an academic baccalaureate, we also offer the practice-integrated Bachelor’s programme which combines work experience with a four-year study model.

The Data Science programme is also available as an international profile. Among other things, it includes attending English-taught specialised modules and an extensive stay abroad. Irrespective of this scheme, you will have the opportunity to attend an exchange semester at one of our partner universities during the Bachelor’s programme.

The Bachelor’s programme in Data Science stands for high practical relevance. Already in the first semester, you will be able to apply the learning content in practical projects. In the specialisation project or Bachelor’s thesis that conclude the programme, you will independently explore current topics and problems, often in collaboration with a company.

The lecturers of the Data Science programme are also engaged in research and development projects. They continually incorporate the insights drawn from these projects, which are generally joint endeavours with business partners, in their classes.
