Understanding the interactions between technology, people, and society requires a variety of perspectives. The Bachelor program is therefore structured into five mutually complementary sections. The Computer Science and Society sections form the foundation of the program, introducing students to the core concepts, methods, and mindsets of computer science as well as the economic and social sciences. In the Socioinformatics section, these fundamentals are brought together and applied to issues arising at the intersection of technology and society. The Electives/Complementary Studies section offers room for personal interests, allowing students to set individual priorities. Students conclude their studies with the Bachelors thesis, independently addressing a socioinformatics-related topic.

Computer Science
What is technically feasible, and what are the fundamental limits of digital systems? In the Computer Science section, students acquire the technical and mathematical foundations for software development. Central to this are the concepts of software engineering and a basic understanding of key areas of computer science, supplemented by selected theoretical foundations. A special focus is placed on the planning and development of large, distributed, and secure information systems, as well as on applications in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Society
Societal decisions often operate within the tension between individual rights and the benefit to the community. Digital technologies increasingly change how people communicate, work, and do business, raising new social, economic, and legal questions. In the Society section, students learn about fundamental issues and methodologies in the economic and social sciences—particularly sociology, psychology, and economics, as well as ethics and law. The content is taught in introductory courses and supplemented by opportunities for individual specialization in specific subfields.

Socioinformatics
The Socioinformatics section serves as the bridge connecting computer science and society. Here, students learn to understand, analyze, and model complex systems in which technical components and human behavior are closely intertwined. A central element is the extensive programming project, where previously acquired knowledge is practically applied. In addition, seminars prepare students for academic research and lay the groundwork for the Bachelors thesis.

Supplement / Complementary Studies (Ergänzung)
The Complementary Studies section belongs to personal interests—this is where students can sharpen their own profile. They can choose to deepen their knowledge in computer science or the social sciences, but other application subjects or interdisciplinary topics are also possible. Additionally, language courses or student engagement can be credited to a limited extent.

Bachelor Thesis
The end of the program is marked by an independent academic achievement. In the Bachelor thesis, students independently tackle a professional research question—such as developing a software system or investigating a social science question with a connection to computer science. In both cases, the thesis should incorporate a socioinformatics perspective. The Bachelor thesis thus demonstrates the ability to address a complex issue in socioinformatics using scientific methods.
