Applied Computer Science
The interdisciplinary Applied Computer Science study program combines practice-oriented core computer science with content from the profile-defining areas of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Students learn how to analyse, model, design and evaluate complex and networked systems of practical relevance using the methods of Applied Computer Science. Interesting systems can be found especially in the integrated application subjects of geo, materials, energy, engineering, environment, economics and maths. The focus on applications in the TU Bergakademie Freiberg's profile lines clearly distinguishes this study program from courses of the same name at other universities.
The Bachelor's degree program provides a comprehensive understanding of applied computer science, supplemented by practical, theoretical and technical computer science - including algorithms and data structures, development of software systems and information and communication technologies. The fundamentals of engineering mathematics to the necessary extent and intensive familiarisation with an application subject lead to an excellent professional qualification: the design and implementation of modern information and communication systems are the key qualifications that are in high demand in all industries.
Based on other core computer science topics - including distributed software, artificial intelligence, computer graphics - the Master's degree program offers an in-depth scientific qualification, particularly in the fields of virtual reality, high-performance computing and complex IT systems and artificial intelligence.
This puts graduates in a position to advance into areas, particularly in the integrated application subjects, that will determine future technical and scientific development to a large extent.
The newly integrated application subject of mathematics in the Bachelor's degree course has been optimized so that after successfully completing a Master's degree, an entry into the teaching profession at secondary schools in Saxony is also possible. Learn more

Graduates have a wide range of employment opportunities in all areas of business, science and administration. In addition to more typical information technology fields such as
- software and consulting firms,
- IT manufacturers,
- banks,
- insurance companies,
- service providers of all kinds,
they can also be found in
- the basic materials and automotive industries due to the application profile,
- the manufacturing industry and
- utility companies
and support them on their way to future-orientated systemic solutions.
After completing the mathematics application subject, it is also possible to teach at secondary schools in Saxony.

What alumni say
"The lecturers are very competent and also likeable, which has a positive effect on the learning atmosphere. Modern learning materials are often used, which is particularly important in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. There are enough places available, even to the extent that many places have been closed/remain free due to the coronavirus pandemic and everyone still has a place. The courses are quite demanding, but can be mastered with sufficient learning effort.
So to summarise: This degree programme is a pretty good choice, from the lecturers to the "handling" of the corona situation, everything actually fits."
