BUSINESS INFORMATICS, m.sc.

Digitalisation and the rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence have fuelled a disruption in the economic sector in recent years that has perhaps not been seen since the Industrial Revolution. Completely new business models have emerged and, in many areas, IT has changed from a supporter to an essential part of the value chain. The development towards a data-driven company - often referred to as digital transformation - opens up many opportunities for companies here, but also harbours many risks. The key in the process of this digital transformation is that the merging of the information-processing processes (IT) and the business processes into a new unit succeeds as quickly and smoothly as possible. This is precisely where the strength of business informatics lies, which is why it has gained so much importance in recent years.

Whereas business informatics used to stand for the loose coupling of supporting IT and business, today it is the central bracket and the link that enables many companies to create something out of IT and business that is more than just the sum of the parts. These new tasks in business informatics also pose new challenges for the people involved. The aim of this degree programme is to deepen your knowledge at the decisive points and thus optimally prepare you for precisely this range of activities. The degree programme is designed to support you in becoming an active designer in this extremely exciting and promising professional field - regardless of whether you are interested in the development of new systems, the operation and expansion of existing systems or the consulting of companies.
