Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP)
(1) Within the scope of the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage, which takes place in the first semester, the following course examinations must be passed:
- VO Introduction to Programming (3 h/4,5 ECTS-Credits),
- VO Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science (2 h/3 ECTS-Credits),
- SL Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science (1 h/2 ECTS-Credits).
(2) Successful passing of all exams of the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage entitles to passing all further courses and examinations as well as to writing the Bachelor’s Thesis.
(3) Before successful completion of the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage courses amounting to 20,5 ECTS-Credits may be passed. The requirements specified in the curriculum must be met.
Recommended Course Sequence
The exemplary course sequence given below is recommended for full-time students beginning their study programme in the winter semester. The table shows one possible course sequence for the bachelor's programme and is not compulsory. Delays resulting from repeated examinations are not taken into account.
The standard duration of the study programme is 6 semesters or 180 ECTS-Credits, whereby according to the Universities Act of 2002, a workload of 1,500 (real) hours per academic year must be fulfilled, corresponding to 60 ECTS-Credits (one ECTS-Credit is equivalent to a workload of 25 hours).
The bridge course mathematics is recommended to first year students in the Bachelor's programmes Technical Mathematics and School Teacher Training Mathematics. The bridge course offers support for first year students to ease the transition from school to university.
The bridge course in computer science is open to all entering students in the Bachelor programs of computer science and computer science education. Participation is optional but recommended to all beginning students. This introductory course offers
- background knowledge about computers and computer science to ease the transition into university studies,
- first-hand insider advice on university studies,
- opportunities to meet fellow students and form study groups even before the semester starts,
- Introduction to algorithms and programming.
