Köthen is a small town with a lot of culture and a great location between Leipzig and Magdeburg. Halle is also well connected and is home to many instructors and students who want to study in a family environment but live their private lives in the metropolis. Student life is characterized above all by personal initiative - many students get involved and meet in the student club or in the Mensa cellar.

Computer scientists are more in demand than ever

Studying computer science is absolutely worthwhile in today's world - life, work and the economy are undergoing unstoppable digital change, which keeps the demand for specialists constantly high. The earning potential often far exceeds that of other subjects - especially if you specialize accordingly. The industry is young and flexible and is particularly looking for young talent now due to the creativity, communication and teamwork skills required.

The Applied Computer Science - Digital Media and Game Development bachelor's degree program imparts theoretical and practical computer science knowledge and methodological skills, enabling students to work independently in the diverse fields of computer science.

Graduates are able to analyze practical tasks, describe them using formal means, develop information technology solutions and implement them using suitable techniques. In doing so, they take into account the given or self-imposed project management specifications.

They have subject-specific knowledge and skills in the processing and design of media and computer games as well as their use and effects. With the knowledge and skills they have acquired, they are able to work in different application areas of computer science. Due to the field of application used in the course, this applies in particular to the areas of conception, design and production of digital media, development of digital games and conception and realization of multimedia information and communication systems.
Graduates have experience in teamwork and have tested their communication and cooperation skills in study projects.
