The English-language Master of Science in Business Informatics at WWU Münster offers the perfect combination of the traditional economics education of the University of Münster and the internationally focused research environment of the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS). Classical economics subjects such as business administration, statistics, etc. are combined with computer science.

Pick programmesCareer
Graduates of M.Sc. in Business Informatics have the ability to quickly integrate into complex information technologies in companies and to be able to serve them professionally. Students of M.Sc. in Business Informatics are prepared for both a career in research and in the private sector. On the one hand, the students will be prepared for an entry into a doctoral program, on the other hand, after completing the Master's degree, they will not stand in the way of a successful career in areas such as management, consulting and software development. The M.Sc. in Business Informatics thus provides the necessary know-how in all desired areas and is therefore an excellent choice.
