This is a two years Master's programme that aims at providing students with knowledge on approaches where information technology is a driving force for successful business operation.

INCREASED IMPORTANCE OF SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

Information systems and business applications are an essential part of everyday operations in nearly all industrial areas and service sectors. These software systems support administration and production processes, optimize work flow and material flows, enable electronic business solutions, support collaboration in distributed work groups and many more tasks.

However, information systems are not isolated, rather they function in a business context of an enterprise and operated by the enterprise personnel. Only when all parts of this complex socio-technical system work well it brings the business most benefit. Achieving this requires understanding of two perspectives: management of business processes as well as engineering of information systems to support them.

GOOD JOB OPPORTUNITIES

In an economy with an increasing part of knowledge-intensive services and products, the importance of software solutions for competitiveness of modern enterprises will increase even more. These software systems support all kinds of tasks emerging in an enterprise. This is why IT specialists with a sound background in systems architecture or software management, even in times of reduced IT budgets, have good job opportunities.

SPECIALIST IN BUSINESS-ORIENTED SOFTWARE
