Special features regarding teaching

The course is based on the three-pillar-model with Computer Science, Business Administration and Business Informatics. A sound foundation in Mathematics and soft skills complete the course. Specialisations in Business Information Systems include Logistics and ERP Systems. The course has a practice focus with its own practice semester. Most of the courses are seminar-type classes, with many practical exercises for specialisation.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Dual-degree options for Bachelor/Master with France, England and New Zealand; International visiting lecturer programme at Bachelor’s/Master’s level; each year there are around 3 - 8 international visiting lecturers. Extensive English-taught course of study (approx. 50 credits each semester); Over 20 international partner universities for computer science and mathematics; Active international work placement programme and student exchange programme with very good credit-recognition options (approx. 40 outgoing students per year); International student projects.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Laurea University of Applied Sciences, Finnland; TU Dublin, Irland; Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Vancouver, Kanada; Eastern Institue of Technology in Napier, Neuseeland; Hong Kong University, China; University Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia; University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal; Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam; Clemson University, Clemson, USA; Chaoyang University of Technology, Taichung, Japan.

Special features regarding the equipment

The faculty has over a dozen laboratories in the field of Computer Science, some of them are pure Business Informatics laboratories (e.g. logistics), others have a high relation to business informatics (e.g. databases). All laboratories are equipped with computers, WiFi network is also fully developed so that students can use their own computers. The degree course benefits from the fact that there are four Computer Science courses in the Faculty. The logistics laboratory has an elaborate Fischer technology warehousing model that can be programmed via a control.

Special features regarding research activities

Research focus areas in the field of Business Information Systems include Production Planning and Control. There is also the Innovation Centre for Production Logistics and Factory Planning (IPF) for this. A further research focus area lies in IT Controlling and Governance.

Support for founders

The START-UP Centre of Regensburg University of Applied Sciences supports students, graduates and research assistants with their start-up projects. PROPOSAL: Testing the start-up idea, support on the path towards a start-up, development of the business plan, information about funding options and programmes, arrangement of network partners. Lecturers in the faculty are closely involved in the Management Cup Bavaria: Participating students, in team work and as “young entrepreneurs/executives”, learn and experience economic thinking and actions and how companies function in competition.

Other special features

Business Information Systems is firmly interwoven with the other Computer Science degree courses of the faculty in terms of content and organisation. This guarantees a broad education and a wide range of (compulsory) elective subjects in addition to the required subject depth. The topic of sustainability is covered, for example, by elective modules such as "Green IT".
