Bachelor in Computer Science and Communication Systems

Designed for a constantly evolving field, the Computer Science and Communication Systems program trains engineers specializing in software, data, electronics and embedded systems.

Program

Whether it is the electronics, Internet of Things, Big Data or artificial intelligence, you specialize in digital technologies that play a major role in the many economic sectors facing the digital transition.

Majors

Software Engineering Major

The rapid technological advancement of the 21st century is responsible for the omnipresence of digital in our lives. And the reverse is also true!

As a software engineer, you design and develop complex, reliable and high-performance applications on various platforms (desktop, web, mobile and cloud).

You master the software design process, as well as the relevant programming languages, in areas such as image processing, application development, 3D animation or artificial intelligence.

Data Engineering Major

The importance of data to a company’s strategy and objectives increases proportionally with its volume and complexity.

As a data engineer, you master the entire chain of managing very large amounts of data (Big Data): collection, transport, processing, storage and the process of innovation and valorisation.

You design and develop IT products and services in areas such as data analytics, machine learning, data mining and high-performance computing.

Embedded Software Major

Electronics and embedded systems are at the center of innovation and research, providing many industrial and entrepreneurial opportunities.

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you master the technologies related to electronic development, mobile and technical computing, operating systems and embedded software in general, programmable logic circuits and microcontrollers.

You interface different electronic systems for various applications where constraints are strong (environment, consumption, size, performance, costs etc.) and dedicated to fields ranging from personalized medicine to robotics, including drones and autonomous cars.

Embedded Software – Trinational Program

Together with two French and German universities, we offer a Trinational program in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computer Science, which takes place in all three countries.

The content of this Trinational program is similar to that of the Embedded Software one.

Content

Skills

During the Computer Science and Communication Systems program, students develop skills in the IT field and understand its impact on society in general.

In addition to technical skills, the linguistic and cultural skills acquired during the Trinational program are seen as a major asset by employers.

Degree Awarded

Bachelor of Science HES-SO in Computer Science and Communication Systems, mentioning the chosen major
180
ECTS

The Trinational Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing awards two other diplomas: the French Bachelor of Technology and the German Bachelor of Engineering.

Duration and Organization of Studies

The Bachelor’s degree program lasts for three years on a full-time basis (including the Bachelor’s thesis), with a common core in the first year and a separation by major from the second year onwards.

The Trinational program lasts for three and a half years:

  • 1st year at the University Institute of Technology in Haguenau (France)
  • 2nd year at the Hochschule Offenburg (Germany)
  • 3rd year at the Haute Ecole Arc Ingénierie (Switzerland)
  • 7th semester at the Hochschule Offenburg (Germany)

Admission

Registration deadlines

31 May (Swiss and EU residents) – thereafter, admission is possible depending on the number of places available
31 March (non-Swiss and non-EU residents)

Fees

150 CHF – Registration
500 CHF – Tuition (per semester)

Perspectives

The Computer Science and Communication Systems program is in close relationship with the professional world, guaranteeing employability in the engineering, development and implementation of electronic and computer systems, in various fields, such as industry, finance, administration or wholesale and retail trade.

After completing this Bachelor’s program, you can also enrol in a Master’s program.
