IT Specialist, Application Development / Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Your job

By choosing the dual degree programme in computer science and the University of Münster as your training provider, you combine a professional vocational training at the University of Münster as an applications developer with a concurrent bachelor’s programme at the FH Steinfurt.

During your vocational training at the University of Münster and the CIT, you will work through the three departments of specialist applications, application integration and systems, where you will learn various programming languages, software and hardware components.

For the first two years, the school-based training takes place at the Ludwig-Erhard-Berufskolleg. In parallel, your first semester of study begins in the second year and continues in block mode. The training ends with the IHK examination, and you transition into operational activity. You will focus on one of the previously completed departments and conclude your studies with a practical phase and a bachelor’s thesis in this department.

You will work in a large team with IT specialists, experienced trainers and apprentices, and support the planning and development of programmes and applications. After an induction phase, you will further develop existing web applications, adapt user interfaces and design and programme your own applications in various programming languages. In doing so, you will acquire valuable skills in many common programming languages and database systems.
