What is it?
Business Informatics is a cross-disciplinary degree program in computer science and business administration. The degree program combines the know-how of methods and technologies of systematic information processing in digital media with the professional knowledge of economic decision-making processes in companies, institutions and organizations.
At RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, we emphasize thorough and in-depth computer science training. These skills are important for the digitization of businesses and the public service and are particularly relevant in situations where a significant proportion of software has been developed in-house.
Our students receive a comprehensive computer science education. You’ll learn skills that include programming, database creation, and modeling and digitizing processes. Cybersecurity and agile work methods are also given significant attention. All major business informatics areas such as business process and information management, e-government, and business intelligence are taught using a practical approach. This provides students with the best possible preparation for working on digitization projects in businesses, public administration, and other organizations.
What can I do with it?
A degree in business informatics opens up attractive career prospects in challenging areas at the interfaces that will shape our future lives, economy and society. Your interdisciplinary skills in business informatics will be required wherever the digitization of our world is taking place and where information technologies and data processing are used to handle business processes. This means that almost all sectors, authorities and institutions are open to you – including those areas where IT-supported information systems are developed, operated and sold. At the same time, there is an increasing demand in consulting and auditing companies in which the IT implementation of business processes is analyzed and evaluated. Business informatics develops competencies that shape our future.
