Master programmes at FHV:
Admission, application and recognition
The Bachelor's degree in Computer Science - Digital Innovation requires the following qualifications:
- General university entrance qualification, or
- Relevant professional qualification with additional examinations
For this degree programme, relevant professional qualifications include the completion of any apprenticeship or vocational secondary school programme with a training period of at least three years, or a comparable vocational qualification in terms of scope and requirements, which includes technical and/or commercial components in its curriculum.
The programme director decides whether a qualification is deemed relevant. Applicants with a relevant professional qualification must successfully complete the additional examinations at FHV.
For admission, proof of language proficiency at level B2 in both German and English (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is required.
As an application with less than 5 years of relevant work experience (IT or Business and Management) or no relevant or no work experience, you can complete a training agreement with a company. Since the training agreement is agreed for the duration of the 1st - 5th semester and you are therefore working in a relevant field, you do not have to complete any professional practical training.
The training agreement with the company must be concluded and submitted by the end of the application period at the latest. Proof of completion of the training agreement must be provided by the beginning of the 6th semester.
Here you can find the guide and the form for the training agreement
