- Computer science bachelorGerman
- Informatik (B.Sc.)
- How to apply
- FAU's campo portal (up to 3 applications)
- Deadline
- 15 April–15 July for open programmes (Artificial Intelligence B.Sc.: 31 May); 4 May–15 July for restricted programmes (posted form as well)
- School certificateCountry rule
- Your school certificate must count as a German higher-education entrance qualification (HZB). If it does not, the usual route is a Studienkolleg with an assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) or one to two years of university study at home. The university makes the final decision.
- LanguageCountry rule
- Most bachelor programmes are taught in German and need German at B2 or higher (often DSH-2 or TestDaF 4 in all parts by enrolment); English-taught programmes need English proof instead.
- Tuition (non-EU)
- Non-EU students starting from summer semester 2027: usually €1,000–3,000 per semester depending on the programme
€100 processing fee per application for certain non-EU applicants from winter semester 2026/27. FAU's Informatik B.Sc. is taught in German (DSH 2), with no admission restriction.

What the university asks of international applicants
