Compulsory Module 8: Database Systems (7.5 ECTS-Credits; 5 h)

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Graduates of this module know and understand the basic concepts of database systems and can apply them. In addition, they are able to perform data modeling at the logical, conceptual, and physical levels and to formulate queries on these models.

Compulsory Module 9: Operating Systems (7.5 ECTS-Credits; 5 h) (no courses)

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Graduates of this module understand the most important concepts of process, thread, memory and file management as well as inter-process communication in operating systems and can apply them.
