Graduates of the master’s programme in Business Informatics are able to develop and implement business information systems, introduce relevant organisational concepts in companies, support experts in developing and implementing business software applications, and conduct theoretical as well as applied research on the use of information and communication technologies. The discipline of business informatics is based on both models and procedures in business and economics, as well as technologies and methods in computer science. Therefore, students need a high level of analytical thinking and the ability to recognise organisational and technological dependencies.
