Business Information Systems Engineering as an independent discipline has emerged from Business Administration (BWL) and Computer Science. It deals with current practical and scientific questions concerning computer-aided information processing in business. The focus is on the management of operationally relevant information. This includes in particular the planning, development, introduction and operation of enterprise software, but also the use of information technology for innovative business models (e.g. e-business, mobility services).

In the elective modules Business Information Systems Engineering 1 and 2, Business Administration and Computer Science you can set specific focal points in the 6th and 7th semester.

In the 7th semester you will write your Bachelor thesis in a company. The topic of the thesis is usually determined in cooperation between the university and an external project partner (company). Accordingly, the university and the project partners are jointly supervising the project. The Bachelor thesis is presented in the Bachelor seminar.

Application and admission

The application for the Bachelor's programme in Business Information Systems Engineering is online

Experience abroad

Studentin verlässt die HFT

Internationally staffed teams and cross-border cooperation with suppliers and customers are part of everyday life in many companies. Practical experience abroad is therefore an essential additional qualification for students. So you can do the following abroad:

  • the Supervised Practical Study Project (BPS)
  • a study semester and/or
  • the Bachelor thesis

 

Partner Universities

There are further possibilities. Go Australia, for example, regularly organizes information events at the HFT, through which several students have already gone to Australian universities. Furthermore, there are contacts with the Australian research organization CSIRO, which is represented at numerous locations with different research focuses.

Prospects

In companies of all sectors, business information systems engineering specialists are employed especially at the interface of specialist applications and IT due to their knowledge in both business administration and information technology. Other typical employers are software and consulting companies that offer business software themselves or introduce it to other companies and organizations.
