Computer Science

AP degree - 2 years - 150 ECTS points

The Computer Science programme is
aimed at people who would like to work with
development, planning, implementation and
operation of business management systems. The programme meets demands from
the business sector for improved theoretical knowledge and a broad profile within IT.
Thus, the programme offers a wide range of applications within IT. The AP Degree
programme in Computer Science is the first two years of a Bachelors programme.
The Computer Science programme is an advanced, business-oriented systems
developer/programmer programme lasting 2 years. The programme will provide
you with extensive knowledge of systems development and design. Teaching is
closely related to the industry and includes a variety of teaching formats, e.g.
classroom teaching, project teaching and exercise classes.
The programme is divided into five semesters consisting of a combination of IT-
disciplines and a number of commercial subjects, e.g. business organisation,
economics, production management and environmental conditions in the industry.
The first four semesters are subject oriented and in the fifth semester the main thesis
is elaborated in close co-operation with a company in Denmark or abroad.
The programme is taught in English.
The Computer Science programme opens the way for exiting job perspectives, and at the
same time the programme can be used as a springboard to further education and training.
After completion of the Computer Science programme the students are qualified to work with
topical computer issues and will therefore be able to develop, update and maintain software
and IT systems or continue on a bachelor top-up programme.
The first four semesters take place at the Business Academy. The last semester is
planned entirely by you. It can be spent on projects in Denmark or abroad. It is
compulsory to collaborate with an external partner for the main project.

The compulsory part
The core competences of the education are software construction and software
design. These subjects are supported by the subject areas IT technology and
Networks as well as Business Economics

Specialisation
In the 4th semester of the programme, you have to put together your own
specialisation course, which will add a unique profile to your qualification. We offer a
series of changing subjects as new relevant subjects surface. The subjects changes
from time to time in order to ensure that the subjects we offer are always up to date.
Subjects may be e.g. C#, databases, mobile programming and advanced web
programming.

Internship
The internship is placed om the 5th semester. The internship gives you the
opportunity to use the theoretical knowledge you have obtained in real life. At the
same time your chances of quick access to an exciting job will be strengthened. It is
your responsibility to find a company for the trainee period, however Business
Academy Aarhus has a list of contacts and job options available.

Main project
The main project can be solved in groups or individually. The project should be
formulated in collaboration with an external partner such as a private or public
company or organisation. At Computer Science the main project can be worked out
in almost any line of business and on a number of different subjects varying from
traditional administrative areas to assignments on the boundary between between
applied technology and research.

Study Facilities
At Business Academy Aarhus, modern hardware and development software are
some of the most important tools. The department has the most used development
tools available, and as a student you will benefit from our Academic Alliance
Programme collaboration with Microsoft, whereby we are able to offer free use of
Microsofts development tools.
