Bachelor's degree in Computer Science: Ready for the digital future

Questions and answers

There are the following reasons for studying computer science:

  • acquire a broad and well-founded specialist knowledge of various operating systems, applications, programming, networks and computer architectures by studying IT
  • combine with business knowledge and analytical thinking
  • be able to develop solutions to complex problems through combined knowledge
  • can take on demanding project management and leadership tasks
  • Technological change requires permanent adjustments and further training

If you are already working and do not have the opportunity or do not see the point in completing a full-time degree course and thereby massively reducing your working hours, there are two interesting alternatives for you. Firstly, you can study for a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science while working. Such a part-time course lasts around eight to ten semesters and allows you to continue working, although not at every university and in every study phase (especially not in the first year) full-time. Another study option that may even be very attractive to you is distance learning. This recognized university degree course at a distance-learning university of applied sciences allows you to study at an extremely flexible time with only 20 percent face-to-face teaching in one of four cities in Switzerland and 80 percent supervised self-study.

There is not only one university of applied sciences for computer science (FH Informatik), but also several regional educational programs:

  • Bern University of Applied Sciences Engineering and Information Technology TI, Biel or Bern
  • Freiburg University of Applied Sciences for Engineering and Architecture
  • University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, Windisch
  • Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts - Engineering & Architecture
  • HSR University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil
  • ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur and Zurich
  • Swiss Distance-Learning University of Applied Sciences (80% self-study, 20% face-to-face teaching in Basel, Bern, Brig or Zurich)

The degree course in Computer Science at the University of Applied Sciences (Informatik UAS) takes different lengths of time depending on the variant:

  • 6 semesters full-time
  • At least 8 semesters part-time (practice-integrated)
