Do I need a laptop?
No, having your own laptop is not a prerequisite for gaining a place on a Computer Science course. Having your own computer (either a desktop which you can use at home or a laptop for when you're away from home) will make your life easier, but in theory you can complete this course without one. Freiburg University has several computer rooms for students, each equipped with many different computers. Here, you can write your assignments, program, write emails and so on. The university computers are equipped with also specialist programs (mathematics software, for example), and students can print at a minimal fee.
