Degree structure

The compact degree programme introduces its students to the areas in which they will later work within the scope of six practical modules. The interdis- ciplinary nature of Business Information Systems has led to the structuring of this degree programme into its Business and Economics, IT and Business Information Systems sections. Specialist modules include Software Engineer- ing, IT-Management, Business Process Modelling and the Design of larger application systems.

Students can study at a university abroad during the fifth semester.
