The Master's programme consists of a total of 120 credits:
Through your choice of major, you can focus on one of the three perspectives of Information Systems: Data Science, Business Process Management, or Managing Digital Business. The course of study can be planned individually.
Seminars and project seminars are taught in small groups and are concerned with the latest topics in research and practice. Each semester, students are offered a new selection of seminars and project seminars from which to choose. While seminars represent a perfect opportunity for students to train their skills in academic writing, project seminars school students in how to turn a business problem into a solution. In teams, students have to do a full circle from the first idea to a prototypical implementation.
The Master's thesis allows students to demonstrate their ability to undertake an in-depth research project. This thesis completes the programme.
