Structure and Curriculum

In order to accommodate candidates from various backgrounds, and depending on each candidate’s previous studies, the master’s degree in Computing in the Humanities is offered in three distinctly fitted curricular tracks.

Track 1: Candidates holding a bachelor’s degree without Applied Computer Science elements

 

The degree track under the heading “Consecutively interdisciplinary, on the basis of a bachelor’s degree without Applied Computer Science elements” is aimed at students with little or no previous knowledge of Computer Science and Applied Computer Science.

Modules in Track 1
A1: Computer Science and Applied Computer Science51 ECTS-Points
A2: Computing in the Humanities24 ECTS-Points
A3: Seminar and Projects15 ECTS-Points
A4: Master's Thesis30 ECTS-Points

 

 

Track 2: Candidates holding a bachelor’s degree including a minor in Applied Computer Science (30 ECTS-Points)

The degree track under the heading “Consecutively interdisciplinary, on the basis of a bachelor’s degree with a minor in Applied Computer Science (30 ECTS)” is aimed at students who have completed an undergraduate minor comprising approx. 30 ECTS-Points and who possess basic knowledge of Computer Science and a programming language. This knowledge should correspond to the level required for a minor in Applied Computer Science (30 ECTS) at the University of Bamberg.

Modules in Track 2
A1: Computer Science and Applied Computer Science33-42 ECTS-Points
A2: Computing in the Humanities30-42 ECTS-Points
