In the field of Economics, there is the option to choose between a Business Administration or Economics major. Close cooperation with the Leibniz Information Centre for Business (ZBW) which enables direct insights into practice. In the "Scientific Work (Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten)" event, students are prepared for scientific work and presentations in seminar, project and final theses. Start-up activities are supported by practice-oriented tasks, the reference to practice-oriented research and the mediation of contacts. Electives to choose from already in the BSc.

Business Informatics students have access to the exchange universities of the Institute of Computer Science and those of the Institute of Business Administration and Economics of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences. There is an inter-institutional cooperation with Süddansk Universitet Slagelse, Denmark; Erasmus exchange projects of the Institute of Computer Science with Oviedo and Valencia (Spain), Grenoble (France), Bergen (Norway), Turku (Finland), Klagenfurt (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic), Liverpool and Portsmouth (UK).
