Can’t decide between computer science and electrical engineering? The Computer Engineering course combines both subjects equally in one study programme!
For example, programming and software engineering as well as data processing and automation technology are of great importance for the development of autopilots, brake assistants or high-resolution 3D televisions. The Computer Engineering programme provides you with a broad range of specialist knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics.
Bits, bytes, big data – studying computer science will teach you how to actively shape the technologies and the economy of the future. Because in today’s information society, you will find computer science applications in almost every area of life. Our spirit: everything works better in a team!
At Paderborn University, you will be supported by our student representatives and the Student Office even before you start your studies. Before your first semester, you can take a preliminary course in mathematics and computer science, both of which will prepare you for your studies. You need little or no prior knowledge to take part in the computer science pre-course. This gives you the best possible start.
In 6 semesters of standard study time, you will get to know the great diversity of computer science. Paderborn University offers you a wide range of subject areas – from software engineering to IT security. On our campus, you can design your studies flexibly and explore many exciting subject areas – even without any previous knowledge. In addition to some basic courses, you can set your own specializations and put together a timetable that suits you.
Mathematics is not only one of the oldest sciences, but also one of the most promising disciplines of our time. Trained mathematicians have always done pioneering work in the fields of computer science, quantitative finance, data science and artificial intelligence – long before the corresponding specialized degree courses existed.
Regardless of whether the next technology revolution is triggered by quantum computing or something completely unknown: As a mathematician, you are at the forefront. After all, skills such as logical and analytical thinking and an understanding of complex structures are indispensable wherever new intellectual territory is being broken. And when you study mathematics at Paderborn University, we teach you these skills in their purest form – in an informal atmosphere and at a top international level.
From the development of shopping apps to the automatic detection of hate comments online: As a business IT specialist, you will help shape the digital transformation and become the interface between people, technologies and organizations.
Take: Mathematics, computer science and technology… and what do you get? Exactly, the Technomathematics study programme! Whether driving safety systems, smartphones or medical technology – technical progress is impossible without mathematics and natural sciences.
