In your final and fourth semester you will focus on your master’s thesis.
Pre-course for programming newbies

As you probably saw at the top of this page already, the admission to this programme is restricted. This ensures that we can support and supervise our students with as much diligence as they deserve and this programme requires.
Of course, this means that we have to limit the places on the programme. The selection this entails is made following the legal framework set by the Land of Schleswig-Holstein, i.e. based on your final grade for your bachelor’s degree and the so-called waiting semesters since you completed your bachelor’s.
So, don’t let this restriction discourage you and apply!
