Business Informatics

Your stud­ies in busi­ness infor­mat­ics will give you a broad spec­trum of qual­i­fi­ca­tions. If you see your tal­ent more in IT, you could work as an ERP man­ager, for exam­ple. In this pro­fes­sion, you plan cor­po­rate resources – the effi­cient use of cap­i­tal, per­son­nel and resources – and are respon­si­ble, among other things, for the imple­men­ta­tion, sup­port and fur­ther devel­op­ment of ERP sys­tems used for con­trol­ling, mar­ket­ing and per­son­nel man­age­ment.

How­ever, if you see your spe­cial skills more in the area of busi­ness admin­is­tra­tion or man­age­ment, you could also take off as an IT project man­ager, for exam­ple. In this posi­tion, you will be respon­si­ble for all steps of IT projects, from set­ting goals to market-​ready results and the pre– or intro­duc­tion of soft­ware or hard­ware. You take care of the adher­ence to the time sched­ule and are there­fore in con­stant com­mu­ni­ca­tion and con­sul­ta­tion with the devel­op­ers as well as the clients and cus­tomers.

You have a struc­tured process, which is deter­mined by a reg­u­lar alter­na­tion between lec­tures and prac­ti­cal work. On two fixed days a week you go to uni­ver­sity for your stud­ies, on the other three days you go to work in the com­pany. This gives you the oppor­tu­nity to work con­tin­u­ously on projects and not be away from the com­pany for three months, as is the case with other dual courses of study.

At the Uni­ver­sity of Applied Sci­ences you will encounter infor­ma­tion tech­nol­ogy learn­ing fields such as con­cepts of procedural/​object/​script lan­guage ori­ented pro­gram­ming, IT infra­struc­ture and soft­ware engi­neer­ing. How­ever, you will also get to know eco­nom­ics sub­jects such as pro­cure­ment (pro­cure­ment and logis­tics), pro­duc­tion & mar­ket­ing, IT and media law and human resources.
