Business Informatics, B.Sc.
Business informatics combines content from business administration (BWL) and computer science with its own specific business informatics content. The content of the course and also the later professional fields of activity are very diverse: You deal, for example, with the IT-supported design of operational and inter-company processes as well as the analysis, storage and provision of relevant data for the tasks of the respective organization. You will also deal with information management, e.g. B. Strategies for IT support and digital transformation are developed and the cost-effectiveness of the information supply is checked.
Other areas of study and work are knowledge management and the development, selection and operation of operational and interorganizational information systems and decision support systems and systems to support cooperation (collaboration). The main focus is on systems that support operational tasks. But you also deal with systems that support administrative tasks and tasks between companies and private individuals.

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.

The core jobs of graduates of the bachelor's degree include activities that are carried out by computer specialists and systems analysts. You have the task of planning, documenting and introducing hardware and software as well as recording the effects on the organizational form. Specifically, bachelor graduates can work as data center and user service specialists, organizational and system analysts, consultants and salespeople or software developers and be employed in the introduction and adaptation of standard business software (e.g. SAP).
You can also work in mixed occupations. These can be exercised by so-called hybrid specialists who have excellent knowledge of the business problem and are able to develop IT solutions for it. Specific professions are, for example, project manager, project coordinator and system analyst. Areas of application for the graduates are either (1) within the IV department (IV = information processing, e.g. system analysis, user advice, IV controlling) or (2) outside the IV department in business-oriented departments with a strong IV connection , for example organization.

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.
