Business informatics
Bachelor of Science

You will complete your full-time studies in six semesters and earn 180 ECTS credits. You will build up a sound knowledge of programming, databases and business intelligence and learn to categorise economic and technical issues in the right context and develop practical solutions and design proposals. Practical content is already available to you after the first semester and you can deepen your valuable insights in practical projects during the practical phase. Alternatively, you can complete a semester abroad to gain international experience and further develop your intercultural skills.
Here you can see an example of a degree programme pathway.

The part-time version extends over eight semesters and also comprises 180 ECTS credits. It was specially developed for students who wish to combine their studies with vocational training or professional commitments. In the part-time variant, for example, studies can be completed at the same time as vocational training in a company or the programme can be completed part-time alongside a job. The courses are structured in such a way that they can be optimally integrated into everyday working life, with flexible lecture times during the week or partly at weekends.

Below you will find an example of a degree programme pathway.
