City of Trier and Trier University of Applied Sciences start dual computer science course

The importance of the new cooperation between the city and university of Trier for the region

The city of Trier, together with the Trier University of Applied Sciences, started an important initiative to promote the training of computer scientists in the region. On June 28, 2024, a cooperation agreement was signed in the town hall, which laid the basis for a dual bachelor's degree in computer science.

What the dual course of study offers

The new course will be available in two variants from the winter semester 2024/25: the practical and training -integrating. This combination of scientific lessons at the university and practical training phases at the city of Trier gives students the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge directly in real situations. This is particularly valuable, since it increases the chances of the labor market significantly.

The relevance for the local economy

Mayor Wolfram Leibe expressed proudly: "The dual course of computer science not only strengthens the local economy, but also the innovative strength of our city." It is known that well -trained specialists in computer science are crucial for the competitiveness of small and medium -sized companies that often form the backbone of the region. The decision to expand the training opportunities in Trier could have far -reaching positive effects on the economic development of the region.

The voices of the university representatives

Prof. Dr. Dorit Schumann, one of those responsible at the university, emphasized the importance of cooperation between educational institutions and municipalities. In her opinion, the close integration of theoretical knowledge and practical experience is the key to a successful professional future for the students. Prof. Dr. Georg Rock, the course manager, emphasized that the training contract not only helps the students to finance their training, but also enables them to have valuable practical experience in a relevant area.

A look into the future

The course will have a standard period of study of six semesters and cover current topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data analysis. These are important areas that are important for the development of modern information society. The Dean of the Computer Science Department, Prof. Dr. Heinz Schmitz is behind the idea that this cooperation also contributes to promoting young talent in the region in the long term.

The goal: an attractive training landscape

This initiative could herald a new era of cooperation between urban institutions and academic institutions in Trier, which laid the foundation for future successes.
