Business Informatics, B.Sc.
Business IT specialists develop and manage complex economic procedures and business processes. Information technology and telecommunications are increasingly intertwined - essential components that guarantee the success and growth of a modern company or organization. Accordingly, the need for specialists and qualified young people who are able to adapt to the interface management between business processes and information technology with its constantly changing requirements is also increasing.
As mediators between development and application, they must above all be equipped with basic specialist and methodological knowledge in the disciplines of business informatics, business administration, social sciences, law and economics and also have the know-how of a communicative team player. They offer solutions for entrepreneurial decisions, act as service providers for application companies and advise on questions of economic information processing and communication.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The course is divided into a three-semester first stage (basic course) and a four-semester second stage (main course). The offer is supplemented by English-language subjects in both study phases. The integrated practical phase is planned for the sixth semester. The last semester is reserved for the bachelor thesis. For a semester or internship abroad, mobility windows are integrated into the curriculum in order to complete your studies within the standard period of study without losing time.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.

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.
