Business Informatics, B.Sc.
As an interdisciplinary subject, business informatics forms the interface between business administration and computer science. Her tasks include solving business administration tasks through the development and use of suitable information and communication solutions as well as the analysis of new information technologies with regard to their application potential for operational practice. The importance of pure hardware and programming knowledge takes a back seat to the ability to design IT-supported solutions and to implement them cooperatively in business organizations. In addition to the basics of information processing, the business informatics course teaches business and analytical thinking skills in particular.

Programme selection →About the programme
The practice-oriented course offers the opportunity to acquire a professional university degree (Bachelor of Science, B.Sc.) after six semesters. The course teaches the basic scientific content and methods of the disciplines of business informatics, computer science and business administration. With the completion of the bachelor's degree, the ability to apply the knowledge imparted to solving practical tasks in business informatics in a professional environment is acquired. Due to its interdisciplinary character, business informatics offers a wide range of specialization opportunities in studies and work.
What you study
The course is organized according to the credit point system with course-related exams. The calculation of the value of the courses is based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in order to take account of the demands for shorter study times and simplified recognition of internationally acquired examination results.

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
