Activity 2 – Goal 1

Programming is just one of many digital skills. These are taught not only in the field of computer science but also in all subjects (photo: colourbox.de). HF2 – Goal 1: JLU systematically expands its range of courses in computer science and digital skills.
When establishing new degree programs within the subject spectrum of computer and data sciences, JLU will focus on practical applications. New degree programs will complement existing teaching and research opportunities in various faculties and will be one more step towards implementing new digital opportunities for all students at JLU (cf. Studium und Lehre an der JLU: Strategie 2030; p. 11). A focus on practical computer science applications characterizes the recently established and planned study programs in this field (B.Sc. Data Science, M.Sc. Data Science, B.Sc. Applied Computer Science, and M.Sc. Data Analytics) and is embedded in a new Center for Applied Computer and Data Science. These study programs will thus meet societal and economic demands for specialists trained in this manner.

The university will take into account the scientific requirement of imparting skills when dealing methodically with subject matter and research questions (digital literacy), thereby creating a new core of qualified early career staff for itself. In particular, current digital topics such as big data, machine learning, or artificial intelligence are included in this teaching, and the ability to critically evaluate the legal and ethical aspects of knowledge results is consciously trained in the process (cf. Studium und Lehre an der JLU: Strategie 2030; pp. 24-25 - B.A./B.Sc. Liberal Arts & Sciences).
Subgoals and Indicators
Subgoal HF2 – 1.1.
JLU expands its range of courses in computer science, data science, and their applications.
Indicator HF2 – 1.1.1.
JLU will have introduced the bachelor's program
Applied Computer Science
in the winter semester 2023/2024 with 15 first-year students.
Indicator HF2 – 1.1.2.
JLU will have introduced the computer science-oriented master's degrees in
Data Science
by 2023 and
Data Analytics
by 2024.
Subgoal HF2 – 1.2.
In order to strengthen key digital competencies, an interdisciplinary course of study geared to all students will be established.
Indicator HF2 – 1.2.1.
By 2025, JLU will have established an additional digital literacy program as part of its overall
Liberal Arts & Sciences
program and will continue to develop it.
Indicator HF2 – 1.2.2.
JLU will have increased the (digital) competencies of its teaching staff by 2024 through the Hessian-wide platform for digital teaching content (Qualification Compass). The
HessenHub
project will become permanent starting in 2025.
