Ceylan Temiz is a first-year student of Applied Computer Science. She is pursuing the Master of Science degree.

Wieso haben Sie sich damals für Ihr Studienfach entschieden?

Because it is an application-oriented and interdisciplinary degree programme that promises good career opportunities.

An welchen Stellen haben sich die Erwartungen an Ihr Studienfach erfüllt, an welchen nicht?

Some mandatory lectures remind me of my school days when I used to think: “What do I need this subject for?” (laughs)

Was macht Ihnen in Ihrem Fach am meisten Spaß?

The fact that I have the choice among courses offered by different faculties.

Was war bisher die größte Herausforderung?

The major challenge was to master the “Theoretical Computer Science” course due to its dry and complex nature – especially when compared with other courses.

Was wollen Sie einmal damit werden?

I would like to work in the media industry.

Welche Tipps geben Sie den Leuten, die auch überlegen, Ihr Fach zu studieren?

Students wishing to study Applied Computer Science should first and foremost be interested in the subject and they definitely should enjoy studying it. Anybody who did Computer Science at school has surely realised how much fun programming can be – but also how difficult it can be to understand complex matters. Applied Computer Science does not require students to have any prior knowledge of the subject, but they should be interested in mathematics, natural and engineering science as well as in economics. This degree programme is much more application-oriented than traditional Computer Science. Applied Computer Science is not an easy degree programme. You should not enrol in it just because it promises good career opportunities. The most difficult period are the first two semesters, because you need time to find your footing. But by the third semester, everyone will have reached “half-time” and will be able to enjoy their university life (laughs).
