As a Master's course in the field of business information systems, it enables graduates to actively shape the digital transformation in companies in leading positions. For this purpose, the course imparts the necessary knowledge about current and future technologies with the aim of recognising and mastering challenges that arise through the use of new information technologies. Students also learn to recognise the potential of new technologies for value creation in companies and to derive new products or services from them or to optimise existing value chains.

The Master's course also deepens scientific work and qualifies students for doctoral studies.

Focus points of the course

  • Digital Business Transformation

    In the Digital Business Transformation specialisation, the focus is on new products, services and business models.

  • Information technologies

    The Information Technologies specialisation focuses on challenges and approaches for the safe operation and development of intelligent and networked IT systems.

Admission prerequisites

The Master's course in "Digital Transformation" is a consecutive Master's course. This means that a Bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems or a closely related subject such as

  • Industrial Engineering
  • BWL with specialisation in IT/Computer science

is the prerequisite.

In the Master's degree, sound knowledge from the Business Information Systems degree is required.
