Informatics

During your studies, you have various subjects, which consist of one or more modules. A module deals with a specific topic and consists of one or more courses. In the module handbook for your degree program, you will find a description of the modules and their subject assignment as well as a study plan. This gives you an orientation as to which courses you should attend in which semester in order to complete your studies within the standard period of study. It takes into account a balanced distribution of courses over the individual semesters. It also ensures that you are first taught the important basics before moving on to more advanced topics. Your individual course of study may differ from this. You will take the following subjects to provide you with all the important foundations for later specializations and, if applicable, the subsequent master's degree program: • Mathematics (34 to 46 CP): at the beginning of your studies, you will acquire detailed basic knowledge of analysis and linear algebra. Numerics and probability theory follow in the second year of study. • Theoretical Informatics (17 CP): fundamentals of algorithm technology, data structures, complexity theory, automata theory, logic, formal languages and others provide you with important foundations for later in-depth courses. • Computer Engineering (16 CP): in this subject, you will learn which components make up a computer and how they work. You will also deal with digital networks, which are used to transfer, process and store digital data. The subject is rounded off by acquiring knowledge about the structure of operating systems. • Software Engineering (24 CP): this subject is about software engineering and the theory behind it. You have specific programming courses, but also learn about different programming paradigms (object-oriented, functional, logical, etc.). The Software Engineering I module also gives you an initial insight into the specification and verification of programs. • Further Core Subjects (20 CP): this subject focuses on more application-oriented content such as databases, computer networks, IT security and the basics of artificial intelligence. • Elective Studies in Informatics (15-36 CP): here you can take informatics modules to suit your mood. Just give it a try and perhaps this will help you decide on a master's specialization. • Minor Studies (12-21 CP): here you immerse yourself in an application area of your choice, for example economics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics... the supplementary subject is an important building block of your professional qualification. • Interdisciplinary Qualifications (6 CP): this subject is for your personal development. Be it language courses, writing techniques, courses on resilience or mindfulness... KIT has a lot to offer you! The sum of the credit points from the subjects Mathematics, Elective Studies in Informatics and Minor Studies must be at least 82. You can find a detailed study plan an
