School of International Business
You’ve always had a fascination for IT, but studying computer science doesn’t really appeal to you? You would prefer to work on the development of digitalisation strategies in the area of public administration or business? You want ‘more’ than a vocational training, but think classic degree studies are too theoretical for you? Then the cooperative degree programme in Business Informatics and Administrative Informatics is just right for you.

Owing to the early and close connection to the practice partners, the career prospects are excellent. The practice partners make a significant investment in the students and are therefore interested in a longer-term cooperation from the outset. The quality and orientation of the degree programme itself also ensure a successful career start.
Possible future job profiles include all functions that lie in the areas of IT, management and administration. The requirement profiles for specialists and junior management are subject to constant change.
Graduates of the cooperative degree programme Business Informatics and Administrative Informatics B. A. are ideally qualified, for example, to develop and supervise processes of digitalisation as IT consultants in companies or public bodies.
HSB runs the cooperative degree programme Business and Administrative Informatics B.A. in cooperation with partner companies and public authorities in the region, who finance the places on this degree programme.
The practical relevance of a cooperative degree programme is naturally very high.
The theory and examination phase at the university is followed by the practical phase with the practice partner. In the 5th semester, you work almost exclusively at your employer’s organisation.
During the studies in the 6th and 7th semesters, an ongoing intensive integration into the organisation or department is assured by the fact that the Bachelor project and thesis are usually directly connected with tasks or issues dealt with in the workplace, which you solve using scientific methods.
Through this interlocking of theory and practice, you are not only taught theoretical knowledge. You also learn to apply it directly in practice.
Practical relevance is of great importance in all courses and phases of the degree programme. Moreover, your lecturers have backgrounds of highly qualified professional experience.
The field of IT has been international from the beginning. You are therefore welcome to complete the intensive internship in the 5th semester in an international project or with international partner companies in consultation with your practice partner.
Even during the degree programme, international best practice examples are repeatedly consulted or professionals are invited to give lectures.
The cooperative degree programme in Business and Administrative Informatics is always happy to welcome new practice partners. Interested companies and public authorities can obtain further information from the contact person of the degree programme. Feel free to get in touch with us!
The application is made directly to one of the practice partners!
The application deadline therefore depends on the organisational requirements of the respective partner. As a rule, the employment relationship begins on 1 October.
Of course, you can also apply for a cooperative degree programme at companies or public bodies that are not already listed as our partners. We will be happy to support you in this!
