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 →About the programme
Information systems and management is characterised by a high degree of interdisciplinary work, i.e. the integration of business administration and computer science, and is reflected in the requirements on those working in information systems and management. People working in this field must be equally at home in both areas and must speak both languages – Computer Science and Business Administration – to be able to perform their role as an ‘interpreter’ in companies.

For this reason the Information Systems and Management programme is conducted by two specialized departments at Munich University of Applied Sciences: the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics. This is the only way in which students can truly experience the way of thinking both in business and in information technology. A comprehensive and intensively integrated part of the course brings these two worlds together and provides the best preparation for a career in information systems and management.
What you study
The standard study period for the Bachelor’s programme in Information Systems and Management is seven semesters, including the Bachelor’s thesis. Of these, six are theoretical study semesters and one is an internship (practical semester), normally taken as the fifth semester, spent in a company.

Since business informants have sound business management and information technology skills, they have broad application areas in companies and administration. In addition to traditional tasks as a coordinator and mediator between business administration and computer science, business informatics are also often used in purely business or information technology areas.

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.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
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.
