Specialization
during the main studies follows in one of the study programs:
 | Practical Computer Science
 | In the course of Practical Computer Science the
focus is given to “classical" data processing problems like
data banks, graphic systems or systems known by common knowledge. |
|
The focal points of both programs are operating systems, software
development, and computer networks. |
|
| Technical Computer Science
| Technical Computer Science focuses on computer
applications in embedded systems (e.g. for the controlling of
technical devices). |
| Here, real-time systems with micro
controllers, their networks, and connections to the outside world
(Sensors and Actuators) play an essential role. |

The aim of the course
|
| The aim of the course Computer Science is to train Diploma
Computer Scientists. |
| They are trained to have a broad basic knowledge and
also a variety of specialist knowledge. |
| They are able to conceive, specify, design, and
implement data processing solutions and lead them over into practice,
either individually or in teams. |
| They are also capable to continue further studies
independently. |
|

Training
|
| The training consists of three semester basic studies
that end with an examination for the pre-diploma and five semester
main studies that conclude with the dissertation and with the
graduation as Diploma Computer Scientist. |
| An integral component of the course is an internship
semester during the main studies (sixth semester). |
| The basic studies for both programs are combined into
one. |
| The training takes place in the form of lectures,
seminars, exercises, experiments, and projects. |
| The eighth semester is largely reserved for the
writing of the dissertation |

Internship
|
| Internships before starting the course are not
required. |
| Instead, an internship semester is integrated into the
Computer Science course at the Hochschule Mittweida - University of
Applied Sciences. |
| It is prepared, led, and advised by the
University. |
| The student therefore stays registered at the
University. |
| The internship stretches over 20 weeks. |
| It includes an introduction seminar and concluding
seminar, as well as practice accompanying lectures. |

Technical Equipment
|
| The Department of Computer Science has three combined
PC-/UNIX-pools at its disposal. |
| Each pool is equipped with 16 networked
PCs. |
| The operating systems DOS, Windows NT and Linux are
running on the PCs. |
| A broad variety of standard and special software is
available. |
| Through the campus network each PC has access to the
UNIX-server of the department. |
| The UNIX-server is equipped with an IGB Main Memory
and four RISC processors. |
| Of course the use of Internet services like WWW, FIP
or E-mail goes without saying. |
| Projects, special practical work, and
dissertations are done in seven subject specific computer laboratories. |
| Each enrolled student of the Hochschule Mittweida -
University of Applied Sciences obtains personal access to the
Internet. |
| It can also be used from home through ISDN or with
the help of a modem. |
| In this case only the telephone costs to the
University will arise. |

What is expected from applicants?
|
| If you want to start the Computer Science studies you
should have basic knowledge with computers (PC with the latest
operating systems). |
| Programming knowledge is useful but not absolutely
necessary. |
| Besides the Computer Science subjects, Mathematics, Physics, and Electrical Engineering play an important role. |
| These subjects should therefore not be among of your
weaker points. |
| You are also expected to have a good knowledge of
English. |
