Business Information Systems Engineering (M. Sc.)

The use of business software systems (Business Information Systems) for the efficient implementation of business processes is as natural as it is widespread in companies today. However, the dynamics of the megatrend of digitalisation present companies with enormous challenges in managing their network of integrated business information systems, which has grown over many years, developing them innovatively and keeping them fit for the future. The business data held in these systems is also increasingly in the foreground as the basis and result of companies' business activities, as it forms the foundation of data-driven decisions and business models.

With Business Information Systems Engineering, our German language Master's degree programme at THI, you will prepare yourself professionally and methodically for activities in these extremely practice-relevant subject areas.

The degree programme focuses on two fields of competence that are in high demand in application companies and IT consultancies: Firstly, the business process-driven realisation of business information systems, their integration and the conceptual management of entire system landscapes at company level. Secondly, professional and technical handling of business data in such systems and landscapes.

In addition to these thematic focuses, the degree programme offers you individual options: Decide for yourself where you would like to specialise further.

To do this, you can choose specialised elective modules from the Master's programme Cloud Applications and Security Engineering. Here you build up competences in further highly topical subject areas.
In the subject-specific, practice-oriented modules of the degree programme, you will also gain experience with modern tools and systems that are widely used in companies, such as SAP HANA. This is rounded off with a project, typically in collaboration with a corporate partner.

With this Master's degree from THI, you will be ready for successful career advancement in the context of modern business software systems and business data management - whether in industry or in the academic field, for example via a doctorate.
