Study Business Information Systems (B.Sc.)

• Business Analytics: Huge amounts of data are collected in companies every day. Such data can be extremely valuable – and our major Business Analytics gives you the know-how you need to mine this treasure. You will acquire expertise in mathematical methods of information theory and data pre-processing and learn how to extract exactly the information needed for important business decisions from large amounts of data.
• Corporate Information Systems: Information systems in companies bring together three elements: People, technology, and the task the system is supposed to solve, such as the generation and communication of data. How can such systems be constructed efficiently? This question is the focus of our major Corporate Information Systems. Here, you will acquire knowledge about different architectures and learn how to select and design the best model for a specific operational application.
• Digital Management: Digitization may sound almost self-evident by now – but it is a topic that will fundamentally transform our everyday lives and companies in the future. Our major Digital Management  prepares you to help shape this change: You will learn how to critically evaluate the potential benefits of technological innovations and how to assess the implementation of such innovations at management level. The focus is on aspects such as sustainability, design thinking, business/IT alignment and digital business model innovations.

And as a controller, you plan, manage and review a company's accounting data in order to make the company more competitive.
