Computer Science
A degree in computer science is designed for professionals in computer science and related fields who are interested in either a leadership role in IT or a career in a field related to computer science. Computer science is an interface between the field of mathematics and the natural sciences. The course of study can be completed at a university of applied sciences, a college of higher education, a university of applied sciences or a university. Depending on the educational institution, one obtains a diploma, a bachelor's or a master's degree.
In the study of computer science, the mathematical and scientific as well as the fundamentals of technical, theoretical and practical computer science are taught. The more advanced the study, the more you also have the opportunity to set their own priorities according to their own interests. For students, programming forms an essential part of the education.
The bachelor's program can be completed full-time or part-time or part-time and lasts between 6-8 semesters. If you then still want to connect the master, this takes another 4 semesters. The usual degree is ""of Science"" or ""of Arts"".
A bachelor's degree costs between 4,500 -8,000 Swiss francs, depending on the university and duration, and between 10,000 - 50,000 Swiss francs at a higher technical college, again depending on the educational program. The differences are shown to you here.
Depending on the training institution- and location, various requirements are necessary to be accepted into the program. This can be a certain previous education, but also a few years of work experience. A gymnasiale Matura with emphasis in mathematics or physics facilitates the entrance into the study, is however not presupposed.
With a degree in computer science, one has very good job prospects, as one can deal with complex systems, applications and software. It is possible for a graduate to enter finance, insurance, or consulting, as a developer, in project planning or IT security. The salary for computer scientists is around 60,000 to 100,000 Swiss francs per year, depending of course on the industry, degree and position. You can find potential employers here.
Computer science can be studied at universities of applied sciences, universities and higher technical schools. It is offered at BFH Bern, HSR Rapperswil, FFHS Brig, ZHAW Winterthur, University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, and UNISI Lugano, among others.
