Technical Computer Science

Are you fascinated by computers and computer science? In addition to programming, do you want to gain expertise in other essential disciplines, such as electrical engineering or business information technology? Do you see yourself becoming a technical computer scientist committed to making a difference in a sector of your interest, for example, healthcare, banking, or the environment? Then our Bachelor’s in Technical Computer Science is the right choice for you.

WHY TECHNICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE?

Technical Computer Science combines in-depth computer science with a broad angle on technology and engineering. You will have a unique understanding of the devices, services and processes that people and organisations need to exchange, process and store information. You will study a lot of mathematics and gain in-depth knowledge of programming, software systems, computer networks, algorithms, computer hardware, and human-machine interaction. You will also immerse yourself in aspects such as parallelism, information and data, complexity and security. In the research you carry out and the challenging team projects you engage in, you will learn to work with experts from other disciplines, from business information technologists to psychologists.

PROFESSIONALISE IN AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Technical Computer Science is a field that increasingly transcends the boundaries of countries, organisations, cultures and disciplines. Therefore, we pay attention to intercultural skills and help you if you want to study abroad. We offer an informal setting with plenty of individual support and opportunities to grow, for example, as a student assistant. And if you have enough talent and ambition, you can combine this programme with the Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics. In short, there is no better place than here to start your journey.

AFTER YOUR BACHELOR’S

After the bachelor’s, the vast majority of students specialises further by following a master’s programme. Most then have a job within three months of graduation. As an expert in an emerging field of science for which demand is rising, you will be able to find a job in a wide array of sectors. For example, you can work in the financial or transport sector, the leisure industry, the energy sector, for an IT company or consultancy, at a university or research institute, or in the medical world.
