Computer Science: Jacobs University Bremen

Students of Computer Science (CS) at Jacobs University will receive an education that covers all modern aspects of this challenging and fascinating discipline, plus they will take courses from neighboring disciplines according to their inclinations.
The courses offered in the first year provide a general overview over a broad range of CS topics as well as intensive programming skills training. Only after the first year of study do students have to finalise their choice of major, a liberty uncommon at most state universities in Germany. In years two and three students will on the one hand increasingly specialise within CS and on the other hand benefit from the transdisciplinary openness that is the hallmark of Jacobs University and take courses from neighbouring disciplines complementing their in-depth CS training. Students thus learn to adapt their knowledge and expertise to a variety of tasks. This is an invaluable asset in a student's future career.
Research is an essential part of student education at Jacobs University. Enabled by a very low student to faculty ratio, students will participate in real research work even during bachelor education. Faculty works in exciting areas of modern computer science, for example: robotics and embedded systems, motion planning, large-scale data bases, computational logic, semantic web, machine learning, computer networks, or distributed systems.
