210 ECTS study program Best computer science graduate of at least the past 3 years; Top 1% Bachelor Thesis: "Environment Detection and Navigation of an Autonomous Rover Using Computer Vision" (German GPA 1.0) Technical computer science with a focus on mobile systems (e.g. digital image processing, AI, mobile sensors & actuators, mobile communication networks, computer graphics, software engineering, electrical engineering, ...)

210 ECTS study program In order to gain more theoretical experience in technical aspects, I changed my course of study from business informatics to mobile computer science. Then, I completed all exams of the first semester in parallel to the running second semester of mobile computer science (60 ECTS in 1 Semester). By taking this additional burden I have made up the missed 7 months in order to finish my bachelor's degree - as originally planned within 3 years - in September 2021.
