This is the right place for you to study!
Applied Computer Science in Weingarten is the right degree programme for anyone who wants to study in southern Germany, between Munich, Stuttgart, Ulm, Constance and Zurich. The degree programme is located in Upper Swabia, in the heart of the Lake Constance region in Baden-Württemberg.
The region is excellent for computer scientists because many large, medium-sized and small companies employ our graduates here. Studying IT has a future.
THE NERD-LÄND
Baden-Württemberg is THE NERD LÄND - according to a campaign by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. Because what used to be the tinkerer is now the nerd. According to the modern definition, a nerd is someone who is particularly interested in a technical field and spends a lot of time on it. And nerds are all those who have made Baden-Württemberg the most innovative region in the European Union and the leading science and business location - and will make it even stronger in the future. And what would nerds be without computer science?
STUDY COUNSELLING
Online study counselling: You have questions about studying, and wonder if you are suitable and what to expect? You want to know what you can do with your degree later?
- Mondays from 19:00 - 20:00 Advice with Jonas, student in the 5th semester.
- Big Blue Button https://bbb.rwu.de/b/mar-64o-ftm-668.
Firefox and Chrome work best for this.
Taster: Contact Jonas if you would like to attend a lecture. You can have a taster session during the semester from 13 March to 30 June and then again from 4 October.
Girls' Day - We are there!
We are delighted to be taking part in this year's Girls' Day an der RWU where 66 schoolgirls from the Welfen-Gymnasium in Ravensburg will receive a colorful range of workshops!
There are many good reasons for women to enter the IT sector. A wide range of career prospects and excellent job opportunities with good salaries await in one of the most important industries of the future. In addition, IT offers more flexible working conditions and work-life balance models, e.g. the option of working from home, than almost any other industry. You can find more good reasons at Girls Change IT, the BW state initiative for women in STEM professions. We want to do everything we can to support female students at our university in their studies and warmly welcome them!
We would also like to draw your attention to the informatica feminale Baden-Württemberg.
AI in the spotlight
Artificial intelligence has been impressing the world ever since the chatbot ChatGPT 2022 went live. The program has a fascinating understanding of language and provides answers to universal questions. A wide range of potential applications for artificial intelligence can also be seen in the field of software development. In the future, computer scientists will rely on numerous AI tools to master the software life cycle.
AI has long been a topic on the Applied Computer Science study program. Students learn both, the basics of artificial intelligence and its application to solve practical tasks in the field of software development. The Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IKI) can draw on over 20 years of experience with machine learning applications and is headed by Prof. Markus Schneider. Interested students can then delve even deeper into the subject in the Master's in Computer Science at RWU.
One degree programme - two fields of study
At RWU you will become a computer scientist with a solid education. In the main course you can choose a specialisation:
Games profile
Here students are introduced to the technologies behind the creation of games/AR/VR applications, as well as computer-generated effects in films.
Our graduates are in great demand and work for game development companies such as Daedalic or Blue Byte or have set up their own businesses. The market is booming - also in Baden-Württemberg. Graduates also work in core development at Unity.
Profile Robotics & Smart Devices
Intelligent algorithms and systems capable of learning are developed at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at RWU. Deep Learning is a focus of research. Applications range from service robotics and nursing to image processing and object recognition to adaptive diagnosis of machines. Students can take part in competitions as part of Robocup@home.
Lots of coding projects and friends who are fun to study with: For me, that's Applied Computer Science at RWU!Vivian prefers coding on the web
I started my studies without any programming knowledge and now coding subjects are my greatest passion!
Bianca studies Applied Computer Science and enjoys attending events at RWU
What I wanted was to study at a family-oriented university that offers a lot of practical experience and where you are not thrown in at the deep end of the professional world after graduation.Laura studied Applied Computer Science in Weingarten
Exciting initiatives and events
Whether it's a Wednesday seminar, Computer Science Night, Rover2Mars, Robot Competition Day, Formula Student, LAN Party or Coding Night: our Computer Science goes beyond the lecture hall!
