What is the difference between studying Computer Science at a university, studying it at a university of applied sciences (FH) and studying it at a university of cooperative education (BA)?

At an FH, courses focus more on professional experience than at university, where broad scientific training including, among other things, learning about the latest research findings, is important. At university, you will receive a more theoretical and methodological basic training, which then makes original research and independent further study possible. This is why self-sufficiency and flexibility are so very important at university. At an FH or BA, you will concentrate more on concrete, practical problems and less on abstract, analytical thought. Here, the focus is often on rather specialist fields of computer science, such as computer science in the media or in communications. This offers practical insight into these fields, combined with work placements in companies.
