Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (dual) B.Sc.

Applied Mathematics and Computer Science with training as a mathematical-technical software developer

Applied mathematics meets computer science

With the degree programme in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, FH Aachen offers you the perfect practical combination of these subjects, allowing you to apply what you have learned directly to your training as a mathematical-technical software developer. Within three years, you will earn a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), a fully-fledged degree with a wide range of professional and academic prospects, and complete a challenging vocational training programme with a degree from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

More than 100 companies from Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Aachen and Jülich offer apprenticeships in this dual study system and train their young talent.

What makes the degree programme special?

  • Mathematics is the tool for analysing a wide variety of problems and points the way to their solutions.
  • Computer science provides you with the tools to realise the solutions.
  • Learning for practice: You work in the company right from the start and apply your theoretical knowledge to real projects in the training company.
  • 2 degrees in 3 years: Bachelor of Science and MATSE (Mathematical Technical Software Developer, IHK)
  • Trainee salary during the apprenticeship.
  • Small cohorts = excellent support
  • Training and studies are fully integrated = no vocational school attendance
  • Study at a state university of applied sciences = no tuition fees
  • 3 possible study locations: Aachen, Jülich or Cologne
  • Low drop-out rate: 2/3 of dual studies students successfully complete their studies within the prescribed period of study or in the 7th semester
  • High hiring rate in the training companies = best career prospects
  • Master's degree possible - at FH Aachen or another university in Germany or abroad.
