From the winter semester 2026/2027 onwards, the Department of Law and Economics will be offering a new undergraduate programme in Business Information Systems (B.Sc.).
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Business Information Systems combines business management issues with modern methods in data science, machine learning and data-driven decision-making. Its aim is to prepare students to analyse data systematically and to apply artificial intelligence responsibly within organisations.
The programme is interdisciplinary in nature and brings together content from economics and business administration, business information systems, computer science, statistics and applied mathematics. Mathematics, statistics and programming provide the methodological foundations for machine learning, while the business disciplines offer practical application scenarios in areas such as marketing, production, logistics, controlling, finance and human resources.
In the compulsory modules, students acquire in-depth knowledge of mathematics, statistics, data analysis, programming, big data, machine learning, data mining and data visualisation. The curriculum is complemented by core subjects in economics and management, including micro- and macroeconomics, management, organisation, strategic decision-making and entrepreneurship. Courses on study skills and an accompanying seminar also develop students’ academic research and writing competencies. Within the elective modules, students can choose individual specialisations, for example in business and economics, computer science, sustainability or law. The programme concludes in the sixth semester with the Bachelor’s dissertation.
The six-semester degree programme commences exclusively in the winter semester and is designed for a small, admission-restricted cohort to ensure a high level of academic support and a well-structured course of study.
Graduates are qualified to implement artificial intelligence methods in organisations, automate processes, and develop or help shape digital business models. They are particularly sought after in fields such as data analytics, data science, digital transformation, controlling, marketing, IT, production and logistics, as well as in management consulting and auditing. The close integration of technology and business administration opens a wide range of career opportunities across almost all areas of business.
The programme is aimed at prospective students with an interest in numbers, algorithms and economic contexts who wish to make organisations more data-driven, digital and agile. The ability to work in a team, strong communication skills and the motivation to make evidence-based decisions are essential prerequisites.
