The study

Basic studies

The foundation course (semesters 1 and 2 up to the Bachelor's preliminary examination) teaches you the basics of computer science, mathematics and business administration and introduces you to sensor technology, 3D visualization and programming. At the same time, you will acquire key qualifications such as foreign language skills in English.

Semester
1-2

Part 1 of the main study program

In the second year of study (3rd and 4th semesters), modules such as AR/VR development and authoring systems as well as input/output systems, spatial data and database systems, software engineering and distributed systems lay a broad foundation for the design and implementation of AR/VR solutions in a wide range of application areas. The skills acquired will be used in parallel in a first major AR/VR group project.

Semester
3-4

Supervised practical study project

In the supervised practical study project, you will deepen your acquired skills in practical application in a company. At the same time, the modules Project Management, Presentation Techniques and AR/VR User Experience Design provide you with further key qualifications.

Semester
5

Part 2 of the main study program

In the 6th and 7th semesters, the focus is on deepening your knowledge in an individual focus area, for which you choose five elective modules from a wide range. In a comprehensive AR/VR project, you will also implement a practice-oriented task in a team of up to 25 students.
