Practical
They can apply their newly acquired knowledge directly in the company.
At the same time : work and study
As an independent interdisciplinary field, business informatics combines the content and methods of business administration and computer science. This enables problems to be successfully solved and complex systems to be adapted, further developed and maintained.
Business informatics provides answers to questions by helping companies to organise their internal and external information and communication flows.
- How do automotive companies organise their supply chains "just in time"?
- How do online mail order companies suggest books that others have also bought?
- How do mobile phone companies identify customers who will soon be cancelling in order to offer them better deals?
- How can processes in companies and administrations be digitalised?
The work of business IT specialists takes place at the interfaces between specialist and IT departments and requires the ability to think in an interdisciplinary way.
In the dual study programmeyou can optimally combine practice and theory. You get to know both sides and can apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice or discuss questions from your day-to-day work at the university. By alternating between the study phase at the university and the practical phase at the company, theoretical knowledge can be put into practice straight away.
