I already work as a computer scientist, but would still like to do a Bachelor's degree. What is the easiest way to do this?
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.
Which computer science universities of applied sciences (FH Informatik) are there?

- 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)
How long does it take to study Computer Science at a University of Applied Sciences (Informatik UAS)?
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)
