Study Plans

The Department of Informatics at the University of Fribourg proposes the following study programs leading to the award of Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degrees.

Informatics

This study course gives a solid technical training enriched by competence in the other study course. It begins with three years of training that lead to the award of a Bachelor of Science and includes a major in informatics and one or two minors. The minor can freely chosen from any of those offered at the University of Fribourg.
 
After the award of a Bachelor degree, the student can register for the Master of Science programme which lasts a year and a half.

For more information, please consult the study plan (study plan transition).

Information Systems and Information Management

The study course Information Systems introduces students to information technologies and their application to management in business. It also begins with three years of training leading to the award of a Bachelor of Arts.
 
After the award of a Bachelor degree, the student can register for the Master of Arts programme which lasts two years and includes an external practical training course of 6 months.

Other programs

Bridging program

For students with qualifications in Informatics or Business Informatics, awarded by an HES/HF, there is a bridging programme permitting access to a university Master degree in Informatics or Information Management. 

Students interested in this possibility can obtain addition information from Prof. B. Hirsbrunner.

Informatics for science students

For the Faculty of Science the Department offers the course Informatics for science students (lecture: logiciels programmables). The aim of the course is to transmit basic concepts of informatics useful to scientists.

Starting from basic concepts of programming (variables, functions), the course continues with more advanced topics (loops, recursion). The application of theoretical concepts is mainly carried out by the use of a mathematical software programme directed towards scientific applications (Mathematica). Other software programmes, often used by scientists for the analysis of experimental results (Matlab, Excel), are also studied. Finally, a short introduction to LaTeX, a tool for the publication of scientific documents is studied within the framework of this course.
