To complete this study program, at least 120 ECTS worth of courses need to be completed. This includes:

  • mandatory courses in the foundation track (33 ECTS)
  • elective courses in other tracks (at least 48 ECTS)
  • elective courses and transferable skills (at least 9 ECTS)
  • the diploma thesis (30 ECTS)

Courses (Lehrveranstaltungen) are grouped into modules covering specific areas. In general, courses only contribute to the completion of the study program if the corresponding module has been completed. Some modules may contain only a single course to be completed, while others require the completion of some or all courses within the module.

Each module is assigned to one or several tracks (Prüfungsfächer) that focus on different areas of Human-Centered Computing. Most tracks have one mandatory module that needs to be completed in order to be able to use other modules from that track for study progress.

For more information on the availability of specific courses or to sign up, refer to TISS.
