Will my Bachelor of Arts Computer Science accepted in Germany
#1
Hi Everyone,

I apologies, this is my first time making a thread and actually talking on this website. I'm doing Dual Degree BA CS & BS CIS from Thomas Edison State University. I plan on doing Masters in Computer Science in Germany.

My questions are:
1) Will my Bachelor of Computer Science be accepted in Germany for Masters?
2) As I'm transferring credits from Sophia and Study.com , will that be a problem for the German universities to see most of my credits being transferred to my degree?
3) I see usually German Universities have specific requirements to have number of credits in specific courses to be eligible for Masters in Computer Science. As I'm doing Dual Degree program with plan, should I drop BS CIS and focus on BA CS and take more mathematics, theoretical computer and software engineering related courses to meet requirements for the degrees.

I don't have any specific German University in mind but I'd like to study my Masters of Computer Science in English. Some university I checked are Hasso Plattner-Institut, Technical University of Berlin but honestly I'm open to any as long as its free for international students and the language used is English.

Thank you in advance, and sorry if I'm doing anything wrong as its my first time making a thread.
Cheers!

To the best of our knowledge, yes. TESU is listed in the German database. However, that probably says very little about what individual schools and grad programs will accept. You really need to check with the schools you would want to attend.

The issue with prerequisite courses also needs to be checked on a case-by-case basis. There is always the possibility that the degree is accepted, but that individual prereq courses from alt credit providers are not. People have had good luck, in general, here in the U.S. with their BACS and alt credit courses being accepted, but we always tell people that if they want to get into a specific program, they should do that homework first.

The fact that you're open to different grad schools helps a lot, but given the international situation, and the fact that nobody here has any real experience with this in particular, I'd contact schools until I'd found a couple that are OK with your plans.

One thing some people don't pay attention to is that many people don't use ACE credits for their degrees. Many people have a lot of transfer credit from a bunch of colleges over the years and then finish what they need at TESU. Not every graduate is on here.
