Good programming practice is an important pre-requisite for our program
For the core programming project in IP Protocols
For the elective Object Oriented Programming
It is also very important for successfully negotiating an internship, a thesis or work
Please list your knowledge about programming. Which programming lecture have you
completed?
Knowledge about programming is a first step. What is more important is your practical
experience.
What kind of programming projects have you done on your own?
(Please add a realistic detailed description – if necessary on another page)
If you have little practical experience in programming, please look for a programming course
(e.g. Object Oriented Programming using Java or C++). This course should include a lot of
practice or one bigger project. Please list all details about how you intend to acquire more
programming practice before coming to Germany.
