Business Information Systems, B.Sc.
Today, modern information and communication systems act as the central nervous system of companies and non-profit organizations by supporting the coordination of business processes and decision-making. The integrative character of the systems ensures smooth processes and thus helps to save time and money. In the face of global competition, managing and controlling a company today would be unthinkable without such IT support. From a scientific point of view, business informatics is an independent discipline that has distinct intersections with business administration and computer science and increasingly addresses other stakeholder groups such as public administration, politics and private individuals. The focus of research and teaching at Chemnitz Business Informatics is the development of innovative concepts in the areas of business intelligence, big data, business process management and Web 2.0.

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.
