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 program is located at the interface of economics and computer science. Students receive a sound education in business management and acquire broad expertise in all business processes and fields of activity, from accounting to marketing and logistics. In doing so, all subjects are systematically examined with a view to aspects of data science. Thus, students develop the necessary skills to understand key technological developments such as artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning holistically, to make them usable considering economic and social requirements, and to constantly reflect on the ethical dimensions of their application. The program places a particular focus on family-run and medium-sized companies.
Graduates of the program are able to shape and apply data-driven technological developments. As responsible business managers, they make technically and economically sound decisions, optimize processes, and implement business models that meet both economic and social requirements. They are thus excellently qualified to start a career in national and international companies in a wide range of sectors, as well as to continue their studies in a Master’s degree program.
What you study
The program contains interactive small-class lectures, exercises, discussion based seminars, excursions, and research projects. All modules of the program seamlessly integrate managerial and technological aspects, stimulating a holistic perspective on data-driven business challenges. Thereby, students acquire competencies in all major fields of management and learn how data science can be efficiently used in a digitally transforming business environment. A strong normative fundament and quantitative competencies qualify students to conduct own research projects to create data-driven management solutions. Real-world projects with leading companies and multifaceted electives – with a particular focus on digital transformation and family enterprise – promote a customized study experience.

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.
