Bachelor
The bachelor's programme in Information Processing is part of a two-subject programme in combination with another bachelor's subject from the Faculty of Humanities. Which combination possibilities exist is regulated by the examination regulations for the Bachelor's program of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Cologne.
English language skills at the level of level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and another foreign language at the level of level A2 (CEFR) are required. Proof of the language skills must be submitted at the latest by the time of registration for the Bachelor thesis.
The Bachelor's programme aims at imparting transferable knowledge of the underlying individual sciences and thus creates an interdisciplinary approach to the professional field.
What prospects does this course of study offer me?
The Humanities are no less influenced and changed by information technologies than society as a whole. Information Processing takes up this challenge and makes use of modern technologies to process complex data in the Humanities. Like all study courses that innovatively connect traditional subjects, this course too opens up access to many different occupational fields, including:
Information Technology (IT) industry
Digital media
Cultural heritage institutions
Web technologies
Consulting
Education and training
Language technology

Internship
Bachelor Information Processing: EM 2 Internship
Scope: 6 CP are assigned for the module, accordingly the internship should comprise 180 hours (i.e. about 4.5 weeks).
Purpose: The internship gives the students an insight into the practical fields and the implementation of the acquired competences in professional practice. The experience gained during the internship is intended to improve the professional qualification and facilitate the start of the career. Cologne offers a wide range of companies that offer professional fields related to the study programme.
Module completion: Please submit two documents to the Internship Officer after completion of the internship:
- Internship report (at least 5000 characters): Briefly describe the activities you carried out during your internship and what skills you acquired during the internship. Reflect on the links between your traineeship and the other content of your studies.
- Confirmation from your employer that you have completed the required period (180 hours) and have carried out the activities you have described.
If you have any questions, please contact the internship officer Dr. Jürgen Hermes
Master
In the Master's programme in Information Processing, the software-technological knowledge already demonstrated at the beginning of the programme is deepened and applied to the two main subject areas (linguistic and historical-cultural information processing) in the form of projects.
Prerequisites for the Master's programme in Information Processing are English language skills at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and knowledge of another foreign language at level A2 CEFR.
The academic degree "Bachelor of Arts" or a relevant, at least equivalent and creditable degree should have been acquired in the fields of information processing, computational linguistics, text technology, computational philology, computer science, media informatics, as well as at least 60 relevant LP. The following condition must be fulfilled:
The presupposed Bachelor's programme must impart knowledge of software technology that enables independent programming in an object-oriented programming language. Alternatively, this knowledge may have been acquired in a way other than through the bachelor's program. For this purpose, the consultants must be provided with meaningful documentation of the courses in which this knowledge was acquired. Project work can be submitted.
