Application and Admission

Admission

Admission to the master’s degree programme in Information Systems generally requires that an applicant already hold a completed university or equivalent degree in the same major subject, or a closely related one, with a grade average equivalent to the German 2.7 or better.

Related degree programmes include all those in Economics, as well as Computer Science, Applied Computer Science and Industrial Engineering.

Master Program International Information Systems Management

Please also note that in addition to the Master's program in Business Informatics, we offer a closely related program "International Information Systems Management". This may be a suitable alternative if you have acquired a strong business management background in your Bachelor's program.

Applicants who have previously  completed an initial degree comprising at least 180 ECTS-Points (6 semesters) may be admitted to a 4-semester, 120-ECTS master’s programme in Information Systems.

If you are applying with a related Bachelor's programme, the following competences must be proven: Minimum of 30 ECTS points for modules in Business Information Systems, minimum of 24 ECTS points for modules in Computer Science, minimum of 24 ECTS points for modules in Business Administration and minimum of 18 ECTS points for modules in Mathematical Basics. The gap must not exceed 30 ECTS, thus you can also be accepted if a total of 30 Credit Point are missing. Accordingly, up to 30 ECTS credits can be issued additionally as condition modules. These modules must be completed within one year.
