The degree programmes taught in English in Engineering of Socio-Technical Systems (EngSTS) offers a scientific specialisation based on a Bachelor's degree in Computing Science or Psychology with a technical focus or in a closely related degree programme. The study programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to the development of safety-critical computer-based interactive systems with a special focus on the interaction between humans and technology. To this end, it combines content from the neurosciences with methods from the engineering development of IT systems. A special feature of the degree programme is the strong interlinking of courses from Computing Science and Psychology, in particular Cognitive and Perceptual Psychology. In line with the internationalisation of teaching, all courses on the degree programme are taught in English. This facilitates access for international students; German native speakers thus increase their language skills required in an international labour market
