The study programme is divided into six semesters. In addition to imparting specialised knowledge and soft skills, great importance is attached to the practical relevance of the content taught.
In addition to a solid basic training in the subject areas of business administration and computer science, the university studies impart competences in the social sciences and law - and the possibility of individual specialisation also passes.

The strong practice orientation of the study programme is reflected not only in the content, but also in the form of the courses. In addition to lectures, the programme focuses on student presentations, group work and practical projects. In the sixth semester, you will first complete an internship in an enterprise or institution and then complete your thesis. During their university studies, students have access to the latest software from the field of business IT.

Graduates of the study programme are able to work at the interface between applications, developers and business administrators and are able to successfully implement academic methods and techniques in professional practice.

You can also study the business IT study programme on a dual basis and optimally combine theory and practice. You get to know both sides and can use your newly acquired knowledge in practice or discuss questions from your everyday work at the university.

The practical component is firmly integrated into your university studies, with regular alternation between practice in the enterprise and theory on campus. During the lecture-free period, you will be at the enterprise or on holiday. You take your examinations at the end of the semester.

A number of regional enterprises offer the dual study programme in cooperation with Fulda University of Applied Sciences. You do not have to transfer your place of residence for the phases at the practical placement partner or at the university. As the practical placement partners invest in your training, the chances of being taken on by many enterprises are very good. You will also have excellent career opportunities in a wide range of industries.
