About the School of Computer Science, FHNW School of Computer Science

School of Computer Science


inspiring, deep, connected

We are shaping the future

With the establishment of the FHNW School of Computer Science, we actively tackle the challenges of digitalisation. We are strengthening the visibility of one of the defining topics of our time and giving computer science at FHNW its own home. In doing so, we enhance the competitiveness of Northwestern Switzerland and help address the shortage of skilled professionals.

Where cutting-edge technology meets real-world practice

The FHNW School of Computer Science is an attractive and inspiring place where education, continuing education and applied research are closely interconnected. We inspire enthusiasm for the diversity of computer science, stand for strong expertise and see ourselves as a connecting force within a vibrant community.

Developing future skills

Digital transformation calls for flexible ways of organising – including in education. It requires new topics, forward-looking learning formats and a commitment to continuous development. That is why we foster lifelong learning and combine academic and didactic innovation with a strong focus on real-world practice.
