Informatics (Bachelor of Science)
Agriculture in combination with modern informatics – not just a snappy name, but also an exciting opportunity. The digital world also influences agriculture and its technology. Nowadays, agricultural machines are equipped with a lot of technology like laser sensors, measuring instruments or cameras to make sure they work as efficient and profit-yielding as possible.
And this is where you come in: At CLAAS you have the opportunity to apply your know-how in a globally operating company. We are offering the dual-study programme Informatics in two different fields of study: Information Technology and IT-Automotive. In both fields you will be dealing with lectures like application-specific programming languages or database technologies. At the same time, the protection against unauthorized access to data is increasingly becoming a key factor.
Did you already know?
The sensors of the CROP SENSOR at CLAAS are extremely precise. The high powered LEDs allow 24 hours operation with a frequency from 10 to 800 measurements per second.
The field of Information technology will focus on all topics concerning engineer- and natural scientific contents, such as Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Physics, as well as graphical data and image processing and Computer Technology. As an information technician at CLAAS, you generate creative solutions to map the real corporate world and complicated procedures in hard- and software systems.
As an information scientist in “IT-Automotive“, the emphasis is set in the field of Software Engineering. You deal with the development of monitoring and control systems as well as with the installation and application of driver-assistance and driver-information systems. These systems regulate for example an ideal harvest speed and the holding of a trace without steering movements of the driver by using GPS.
During your studies, you will experience an exciting variation between theory and practice. Due to the extremely varied IT environment at CLAAS, it never gets boring: There are many thrilling internal tasks and also our clients increasingly demand innovative and intelligent solutions in favour of the agricultural sector. With this dual course of study, we offer you an exciting and connected area with best opportunities for the future.
Do you still have any questions left regarding the dual course of study or would you like to apply directly? Your contact person is always available for you.
