What Graduates Say

Chris Borckholder, BSc

Study Program: Bachelor Business Informatics

"The curriculum and the recommended semester plan promised me a healthy mix of content from the more technical and business-related areas of business informatics. (...) Many lectures included project work in teams, in which I could always get to know new fellow students and their perspectives on a topic."

Christian Sieberer, BSc

Study Program: Bachelor Computer Science Specialization: Business Informatics

"One has to deal very often with the management of information technology and the modeling of IT landscapes and work processes in the study program. This sharpens the view for the 'big picture' in the practical application of technology, which I find very important."
