For your studies in Computer Science, two options are available. Regardless of the language model chosen, some courses may be taught in English, the main language in Computer Science.
However, it is not possible to study purely in English in this degree programme.
Studies in German* (full time and part time)
You can complete your entire study programme in German in Biel (full time or part time). Regardless of the language model chosen, some courses may be taught in English, the main language in Computer Science. However, it is not possible to study purely in English in this degree programme.
Bilingual studies in German and French* (full time only)
A language level of at least B2 (C1 desirable) is required for either German or French and a minimum of B1 for English.
Full-time studies can be completed according to the “immersion principle” in an explicitly bilingual environment (German-French). The language of study is determined in advance for each course and will appear on your certificate. With the exception of the language modules, about half of the modules are taught in German only, the other half in French only.
The course material is available in both languages. You can complete your competency assessments (exams, graded assignments, etc.) in the language of your choice (German or French).
A reference to your successfully completed bilingual studies will be added to your bachelor’s degree.
*English as a working and teaching language in computer science.
- Regardless of the language model chosen, some courses may be taught in English, the main language in Computer Science.
- Teaching documentation in Computer Science subjects is usually only available in English.
- You will have the opportunity to use and perfect your English in discussions and written work.
