Programme content
The four specific modules of the "Production and Logistics" specialisation are "Production and Logistics", "Process Simulation", "Collaborative Business Process Management" and "IT Project Management".
The four specific modules of the "Services and Administration" specialisation are "Service Management and Value Creation Networks", "E-Government", "Data Science" and "IT Consulting".
Each specialisation is supplemented by two FWP modules (10 ECTS credits in total), whereby one module must come from the field of "Business Informatics in the narrower sense". The second FWP module can be taken from the "Business Administration" module group or the "Computer Science" module group, whereby the examination board ensures that students with a strong background in computer science choose a BW module and students from more business-oriented degree programmes choose an IF module.
The Master's thesis (30 ECTS credits), which takes six months to complete and the results of which are presented in a colloquium, is due in the third semester.

In addition, active participation in a two-semester study project (10 ECTS credits) and participation in two seminars (5 ECTS credits in total) are compulsory.
Students can choose between the two specialisations "Production and Logistics" and "Services and Administration" (20 ECTS credits each) to tailor their studies.
