Further information provided by the department

Special features regarding teaching

State-of-the-art content from the areas of Business Administration (in particular social media, online marketing and relationship marketing), Business Informatics (in particular Business Process Management, IT Service Management, Data Science) and IT (in particular Business Intelligence, Web-based or Mobile Systems and Software Engineering). The topic of Project Management supports an inter-disciplinary approach (in particular, the management of IT projects), which is implemented in particular through practice projects in cooperation with companies.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Students are expected to spend one semester abroad. Practice semesters abroad are also possible. All events in the sixth semester of the Bachelor´s degree course are held in English (lectures and projects with presentations as well as seminars).

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Northumbria University, Newcastle, Großbritannien; University of the Sunshine Coast, Australien; Ulsan University, Südkorea; Japanese-Polish Academy of Information Technology, Warschau, Polen

Special features regarding the equipment

Modern servers and virtual desktops with the latest software for teaching, research and project work. Students can also use specific software installed on the notebooks available for use, for the purpose of projects. Thanks to virtualisation, special software can also be used via bring-your-own-device regardless of time and location. Various mobile devices with various operating systems are available for the development of mobile applications in the area of the Web.

Support for founders

The Career Centre offers relevant support services (such as development of business plans). Entrepreneurship competitions are advertised and promoted. The university-wide SHUTTLE project focuses on culture-promoting measures to strengthen the culture of innovation and start-ups. The aim is to promote start-up-related creativity techniques and innovation methods.

Other special features

High level of practical relevance in teaching through the analysis and concept design of current topics in Business Informatics by students as part of seminars and project studies. This fosters collaboration, especially with regional companies. This helps to promote an early link to company contacts and work placements as well as permanent positions, thereby increasing career prospects. In seminars and projects, students work in small groups and therefore receive individual support by several staff members.
