Computer Science (B.A.) (two subjects)

The dual-subject Bachelor's degree programme Computer Science teaches students scientific fundamentals and methodology in computer science combined with an additional subject area. The great diversity of subject combinations also includes in particular the option to combine Computer Science with Humanities and Social Sciences subjects. This is highly recommended, since the influence of information technology on society could not be any greater. How can the general public be sensitised for the topic of data privacy? What are the ethical consequences of research into artificial intelligence? How can we protect basic civil rights in times of NSA disclosures? Due to its interdisciplinary character, the dual-subject Bachelor's degree programme in Computer Science offers a basis for interdisciplinary discussion of these vital issues. But the influence of computer science on society is not the only interesting aspect; the possibilities for information technology applications in Humanities and Social Sciences, such as text analysis, also offer new research potential. In combination with a subject from Humanities and Social Sciences, the dual-subject Bachelor's degree programme paves the way to "Digital Humanities".
