The name says it all. During your foundation course, your first two semesters, we focus on the basics of business informatics. In the fourth semester, you will then spend six months in your practical semester immersed in the professional world in a company and apply what you have learned so far! After that, you will specialise further - you choose in which direction!

Not for non-voters

Electives allow you to tailor your studies to your interests. You can choose from topics such as eShop Design, Business Process Optimisation using Hyperautomation, Web Programming React or IT Security in Companies.
