Information Systems

The goal of the Master's Programme Information Systems is to qualify students for leadership positions in IT and for IT management tasks in companies and organizations. This includes abilities to initiate, control, manage and assess leading and innovative information and communication systems in organizations, thus achieving competitive advantages. Moreover, IT leadership positions require a degree of interdisciplinary knowledge in management, personnel and organization, law, finances and information systems. This interdisciplinary knowledge, together with conceptual and communicative abilities, allows graduates to work at the junction between IT and other internal departments as well as external IT service providers. Graduates acquire the ability to offer qualified analysis of system environments at companies, considering factors such as architecture, process, service and values. The Master's Programme Information Systems is held in English and provides an excellent basis for careers in IT management, business consulting or an academic career through continuation to a doctoral program.
