• Industry-focused curriculum: practical, project-based modules that map to real developer skills (programming, data structures, databases, software design, testing, web & mobile development, networks, cybersecurity).

• Strong employability support: Gisma emphasizes internships, industry projects and career services to support graduate hiring. Their blog and careers materials highlight typical career paths for graduates.

• Foundation route available: If you need extra academic preparation or English support, Gisma’s Foundation Programme (Computer Science pathway) allows progression into the BEng. Good for international students who do not yet meet direct entry requirements.

• Flexible intakes & application process: multiple intakes (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct) and a simple online application route make entry planning easier for international applicants.

 

Typical programme structure & sample modules

(Modules and exact sequencing vary by year — the list below is representative of the content Gisma advertises.)

Core / technical subjects (examples):

• Introduction to Programming; Advanced Programming; Data Structures & Algorithms; Operating Systems; Databases & Big Data; Web & App Development; Software Design & Modelling; Software Testing; Computer Networks; Cyber Security; Computer Science Labs & Projects.

Professional / transferable skills:

• Software project management; Agile & DevOps practices; team projects and capstone bachelor project (final year thesis / major project).

 

Disciplines / specialisations, pathway options

• The BEng is targeted at software engineering specifically; Gisma also offers related undergraduate degrees (BSc Computer Science, BSc Data Science, AI & Digital Business). If you want to combine software engineering with data/AI skills, ask admissions about elective choices or double-degree/further specialisation options.

 

Career outcomes (what graduates do)

Graduates typically move into roles such as:

• Software developer / engineer, backend/frontend developer, mobile developer, DevOps engineer, QA/test engineer, system analyst, or continue to MSc study (computer science, data science, or specialised engineering master’s). Gisma’s careers content emphasises internships, industry projects and employer connections.

 

Latest updates / special requirements (items to watch)

• Foundation route (Computer Science Pathway) is an official pathway into the BEng if you need academic/English preparation.

• Campus confirmation: Gisma runs programmes at both Potsdam and Berlin — some cohorts or modules may be delivered at a particular campus. Always confirm which campus your BEng cohort will be based at before accepting the offer.
