Why study Business and Information Systems?
Do you want to learn about current hot topics in contemporary business and information systems? We offer a set of modules to give you the opportunity to acquire skills relevant for the job market. In Data Analytics, you learn the basics of machine learning and data mining, and do a semester project on analytics within a topic of your own choice. In Introduction to Innovation Management you will be taught the current practices of innovation, and how to properly manage innovation projects. In Entrepreneurship in practice, you receive practical training on how to develop your own business idea and verify if and how the idea can be realized.
But it gets even better: The course "Scientific Project Assignment" gives you the opportunity to follow your own interests and conduct an individual project under guidance of faculty members. You can do research, which will help you to prepare for graduate studies, or you can learn new skills, such as developing a concept or pilot for new software.
If you have questions, we are happy to set up a meeting to discuss further details.
