Im Wintersemester 2021/22 ist geplant, Lehrveranstaltungen für die Studienstarter*innen im Bachelor Informatik weitestgehend in Präsenz anzubieten. Das macht es einfacher für Sie, Ihre Mitstudierenden persönlich kennenzulernen, Arbeitsgruppen zu bilden, und sich insgesamt in das neue Leben als Studentin oder Student in Weimar einzufinden. Den aktuellen Vorschriften im Freistaat Thüringen entsprechend, brauchen alle Studierenden (und natürlich auch alle Lehrenden) dafür einen 3G-Nachweis (geimpft, genesen oder getestet). |
Pursuing a degree in Informatics (Informatik) in Weimar.
In Weimar, you are studying at a top centre for informatics research and teaching—you are becoming an expert in a networked information society. In the Informatik bachelor's degree programme, you will spend the first three semesters learning the scientific fundamentals of mathematics and computer science. In the second half of the programme, you will choose between two areas of specialisation: computer science and media (human-computer interaction and graphic information systems) or security & data science (IT security and data analysis). These two major areas of applied specialisation in state-of-the-art research laboratories and workspaces, plus a wide selection of elective modules, enable you to shape your course of study to suit your own interests.
Programme structure
To be able to participate in fascinating Projects in the fourth and fifth semesters, you must first learn the basics. Our curriculum is based on the recommendations for Bachelor’s degree programmes of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik e. V.). In the first half of the course, you will learn the scientific principles of mathematics and computer science.
