Business Information Systems

The degree program

In our modern information society, the economy is strongly characterized by continually evolving information and communication systems (ICS). IT solutions offer innovative technical options to optimize processes in companies and improve the supply of information. This interface is exactly where the degree program in Business Information Systems starts. The study of Business Information Systems uses approaches from business administration, computer science, mathematics and economic law to analyze, design and use ICS. The bachelor's program in Business Information Systems can be divided into three domains:

• Basic knowledge of business administration
• Introduction into computer science and mathematics
• Aspects of modeling and design of operational application systems

The basic tools of business administration are taught in the modules on accounting and financial statements, cost and revenue accounting, investment and financing, logistics and production. Another domain is formed by the modules on computer science that treat the topics of databases and software technology, among other things. These modules are supported by basic courses in mathematics. The third domain is the link between the first two. Basic aspects of modeling and design of operational application systems are taught here. Modules on logistics, IT security and the use of application systems complement the range of courses offered.

 

Important information

The degree program includes various internships (design internship, programming internship, company internship).

Organization of the degree program

Subject examination regulations/degree plans/module handbooks/internship regulations
Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and contents to be studied). The current version of an FPO automatically applies to students when enrolling in the first semester of study. This means that, even if the FPO changes during the course of your studies, the original version in effect at the time of enrollment still applies (provided that said FPO does not expire).
The respective degree plan contains the recommended exemplary course of studies in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information on each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information about the content of modules/courses, …).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
We recommend that, as a minimum, you take a look at the degree plan of your degree program before the start of the lecture period so that you know which modules are intended for the start of your studies.
