Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences
The Faculty’s Location at the Erba-Island
Pursuing studies and conducting research in a natural setting – the WIAI faculty has been at home at the Erba-Island since the 2012/13 winter semester. The facility is located in the North of Bamberg on the tip of the island between the Regnitz and the Main-Danube Canal.
This new university building is surrounded by a park in which the Bavarian State Garden Show was held in the summer of 2012. The park is open to the public and affords students and faculty the opportunity to relax and take a break outdoors.
Faculty Profile
Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences (WIAI) was established on 1 October 2001 and is characterized by an interdisciplinary curricular layout that remains the only one of its kind in Germany:
It combines the field of Information Systems, with its foundations in Economics and Computer Science, with a realm of Applied Computer Sciences focused on the humanities and human sciences, and also with classic subject areas pertaining to theoretical and practical Computer Science.
Synergy with the university’s main focus areas in the humanities, human sciences and in social sciences, economics and business administration is fostered by integrative course offerings and joint research endeavours.
Due to this application-oriented curricular profile within a forward-thinking, thoroughly integrated modern course offering, our graduates occupy a unique place in international education.
