The first semester is dedicated to getting around the foundations of Business Informatics with the modules Data Analytics Foundation, Enterprise Engineering Foundation, Economic Modeling Foundation, Information Systems Engineering Foundation, and Management Science Foundation. The foundational modules are complemented by a module in Research Methods.

Over the course of the second and third semesters, you’ll deepen your knowledge in four key areas with core and extension modules that build on the foundational modules.

The focus in the fourth semester lies on developing and writing up your master’s thesis.

Throughout your studies, a well-balanced set of open electives and extension courses deepen your knowledge of core competencies in Business Informatics, and allow you to explore interdisciplinary areas, apply management and economic modeling concepts in broader contexts, and develop valuable secondary skills.
