Practical-Oriented Degree Program: Data Science B.Sc.

That is your challenge

In the program with an emphasis on practical experience, you’ll perfectly combine theory and practice. You’ll apply the knowledge you gain in your university studies to real-world projects during your practical training phases. This way, you’ll learn not only why something works, but also how it works and how it’s done. During the 3.5 years of your bachelor’s program, you’ll complete your practical training phases at XITASO during breaks between semesters and during your internship semester.

You can also complete your Bachelor’s thesis in cooperation with XITASO; we always have exciting topics in the research area or from the project business. During your time at XITASO, you’ll work in an agile environment with a broad technology stack in interdisciplinary teams. This way, you’ll gradually gain more and more knowledge and be optimally prepared for the transition into professional life.

Abstract

How to Apply for the Practical-Oriented Degree Program
