Computing in Science

Therefore, the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences offers an interdisciplinary bachelor's program that combines computer science and mathematics with scientific teaching content to train scientists for interdisciplinary research and development.

The Bachelor's program "Computing in Science" focuses on the development and application of computer-based methods in the context of natural sciences. The program encompasses the fields of computer science, mathematics, a scientific major, and scientific computer science. In the program, students acquire initial professional skills and knowledge with extensive theoretical foundations as well as methodological knowledge and skills. It imparts the ability to independently apply techniques and concepts from mathematics and computer science and enables students to act responsibly, particularly with regard to the effects of technological change.

The program is aimed at students with interdisciplinary interests and provides an ideal foundation for further studies and careers in the field of applied computer science with a focus on natural sciences and technology. The Department of Computer Science offers this interdisciplinary degree program jointly with the Center for Bioinformatics and the Departments of Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics.
