Why you should study Computer Science

Your bachelor’s degree is just the start if you want to pursue a career in management later on. This is because, for many companies, a solid foundation of specialist knowledge is sufficient only for certain roles. A highly qualified and internationally recognised master’s degree is therefore particularly worthwhile if you want to take on roles of responsibility at senior management level later on, or even aim for a top executive position. However, the extra effort involved in a Master’s degree is not only worthwhile in terms of your career prospects. You can also specialise in a particular field, deepen your knowledge in a targeted manner and gain valuable experience and contacts abroad. Many employers reward this with advantages in the application process, early responsibility and a higher starting salary.

This is what your Master’s Degree in Computer Science at IU looks like

In your Master's degree in Computer Science at IU International University of Applied Sciences, you will learn scientifically and practically oriented basics in a wide variety of modules. You will focus primarily on the secure development of software, programming with Python and algorithms. In addition, you will deal with ethical and social issues against the background of the application of computer science in society. Your digital and leadership skills will also be sharpened. To ensure that you are well prepared for an interdisciplinary career, you’ll be able to specialise in topics such as IT security, data protection, IT governance and IT law

A look into the future: what you will be able to do after graduating
