Annotation

What requirements does software have to meet? How can management and customer-related processes be optimised and supported on the IT side? How can information technology simplify decision-making processes? As a business computer scientist, you will deal with these and similar questions. You are an expert at the interface between business administration and IT and use your technical expertise to improve your company's business processes. In the Business Informatics degree programme with vocational and academic elements, you apply your knowledge directly through regularly alternating between theory on campus and practice in a company.

In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements at the IU, you will study in one of the following two study models. In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements, lectures take place on two days per week on the campus in Düsseldorf – occasionally also online via live video conference. Students then reinforce what they have learned using the learning materials. The "myStudium" degree programme with vocational and academic elements combines flexible self-study with digital learning formats. You will acquire the theory independently via myCampus – supported by innovative learning materials and Syntea, your personal AI learning assistant. Optionally, you can participate in weekly virtual accompanying courses as well as use other interactive live formats to deepen your knowledge.
