10 Advantages of the degree "Computer Scientist HF / Computer Scientist HF"

Part-time study at a university of applied sciences requires an apprenticeship certificate. In contrast to studying at a university of applied sciences, a vocational baccalaureate or high school diploma is not required. Another advantage of studying at a higher technical college is that, unlike a higher technical examination in IT or management experience is not required as an admission requirement. It is therefore possible to be admitted to this "Computer Scientist HF / Computer Scientist HF" course with an apprenticeship and professional experience in computer science, electronics, mediamatics, telematics or automation and to complete this comprehensive and generalist course.

Summary of the most important advantages of the higher technical college for IT technicians (computer scientist HF / computer scientist HF):

  1. The HF Computer Science course is recognized by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) and leads to the federally protected title of "Dipl. Techniker/in HF Informatik".
  2. This degree course in Computer Science HF (formerly Technician HF Computer Science) is the shortest route from an apprenticeship qualification in computer science, mediamatics, telematics or electronics to a management position in computer science.
  3. The "Computer Science HF" degree course lasts three years and can be completed in many different time models in the evening, on individual weekdays, on Saturdays or in modules.
  4. At some schools, entry to a higher semester is possible if there are enough places available and the required knowledge can be proven by certificates.
  5. Computer Scientists HF (formerly Technicians HF Computer Science) are specialists with a broad basic knowledge in various areas of computer science and in-depth specialist knowledge in their field of specialization
  6. The course can be completed in one of three specializations: Application Development, Systems Engineering or Computer Engineering
  7. Degree courses at universities of applied sciences are recognized by the federal government and tuition fees are subsidized by the student's canton of residence, which significantly reduces the cost of education.
  8. With a diploma in computer science from a university of applied sciences, it is possible to transfer to bachelor's degree programs at universities of applied sciences.
  9. In contrast to admission to the federal professional examination, only one year of professional experience after completing an apprenticeship is required for admission to the Computer Scientist HF degree program
  10. The teachers are proven experts, have a lot of practical experience and can give you individual tips.
