BSc Computer Systems in Engineering - Dual at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

Computer Systems in Engineering is the art of achieving new, innovative advances in different technical disciplines through the use of state-of-the-art computer technology. The programme focuses on the application of information technology in an engineering discipline such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or process engineering. In addition to technical basics, students of Computer Systems in Engineering also acquire in-depth specialist knowledge in the fields of software engineering, simulation, modelling, algorithms and data structures, mathematics, security/reliability and specification technology

Faculty: Faculty of Computer Science  |  Duration: 9 semesters  |  Study mode: co-op (dual study); German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany

What you will study

Options and specialisations: Engineering field; Electrical engineering (IB-ET); Mechanical engineering/construction (IB-MK); Mechanical engineering/logistics (IB-ML); Mechanical engineering/production (IB-MP); Process engineering (IB-VT). This course is divided into core, mandatory and mandatory elective subjects. The core modules are attended by students on every course offered by the Faculty of Computer Science (e.g. mathematics, key and methodological competences).

Career pathways

The proportion of software development costs in almost every technical discipline is increasing enormously, which is leading to an ever greater demand for computer systems engineers. Computer systems engineers occupy similar roles in the technical disciplines to business information specialists for IT organisations in companies. The business information specialist advises on the implementation of business processes in an efficient, custom-fit IT infrastructure.
