Business IT specialists are sought-after graduates. They are responsible for information management, which is crucial for companies. After all, important decisions can only be made on the basis of correct and complete information. In this interdisciplinary computer science degree program, you will learn everything you need to design information and communication systems and integrate them into company structures in a meaningful way.

What you can expect

In the first semesters, students deal with computer science, databases, software technology, programming languages and business fundamentals. The course also teaches key skills such as rhetoric, presentation techniques and business management.

What our graduates say

 

"The doors were always open and we could ask questions if we didn't understand something. I always thought of professors as wearing suits and ties. At the HRW, they wear shirts and jeans - just like us. That made it easier to seek contact."
