BA/BS in Angewandte Informatik (duales Studium)

This dual Bachelor programme combines a computer science degree with a recognised vocational qualification as an electronics technician for industrial systems. The focus is software development in technical environments where programs must work reliably with machines, sensors and networked devices. The first two semesters at the university cover software development, data management, computer networks and modern IT systems. A full year of company-based training follows at the Siemens training centre in Chemnitz, after which students return to continue their studies. Topics include hardware-oriented programming, distributed and embedded systems and IT security. Students receive a monthly salary from the partner company, and the university holiday periods are spent in the company. The programme belongs to the Faculty of Applied Computer Sciences and Biosciences and starts in the winter semester.
