HS Offenburg Studies Master's Programs Wirtschaftsinformatik Wirtschaftsinformatik In the Master’s program in Wirtschaftsinformatik, you’ll specialize in both the IT and business worlds and put your ideas into practice right away. Business analytics, smart business processes, and consulting are the tools you’ll use to bring innovation exactly where it’s needed. So, hone your skills in designing digital solutions for businesses. Academic Advising Profile Degree Master of Science (M. Sc.) Study Language German, individual courses in English possible Standard period of study 3 Semester Starts of study Summer and winter semesters Application deadline January 15 / July 15 Admission requirements completed bachelor's degree ECTS 90 Credits Place of study Campus Gengenbach Selection process Yes (NC) Everything You Need to Know Course Content In your master’s program, you’ll focus on two core areas that make a difference in companies: Business Analytics & AI: You’ll learn how to extract insights from massive amounts of data through modules such as Applied Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Data Warehouse, and Visual Analytics. Business Systems & Consulting: This track is all about how business processes are supported by IT systems (e.g., ERP systems). It covers fundamentals such as software architectures and business process engineering, as well as the implementation of these systems and consulting. You can pursue your interests through two elective specialization modules, all of which have a strong focus on digitalization: Controlling Risk Management & Compliance Marketing Management E-Commerce Management Digital Logistics Management Sustainable Logistics Management You’ll expand your business administration knowledge through modules in Business Administration or Industrial Engineering. During your studies, you’ll work with the exact same tools that are standard in the business world. Since all your instructors have years of professional experience themselves, you’ll learn firsthand what really matters. Projects with companies and guest lectures by industry professionals keep your studies closely aligned with real-world practice and give you insights into everyday professional life. Your master’s program is designed to last 3 semesters and builds directly on your bachelor’s degree. Do you already have a degree in Business Informatics or a related field? Perfect! We also welcome students changing career paths with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, or Computer Science. You can find all the details in the “Changing Career Paths” section. By the way: With us, you’re not just a number. With a master's degree, you’ll learn in small groups of 10 to 20 students and always have direct access to your instructors.

Especially in light of current advances in AI, professionals who can combine digital capabilities with practical business experience are becoming increasingly important. This master's degree prepares you for a career as a specialist or manager, for example: As a consultant (in-house and at consulting firms), working, for example, on the implementation of ERP systems (with a focus that is either more technical or more functional, depending on your specialization) In client companies across all industries and software firms as: System integrator, enterprise software architect Data Engineer / Data Analyst Business Process Manager Software developer for business applications If you’re interested in an academic career, your master's degree will serve as the foundation for a subsequent Ph.D. Changing Majors to the master's degree in Wirtschaftsinformatik The program is designed to ideally follow a bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering. However, it is possible—and a good idea—to enter the program with a different bachelor’s degree if you see your professional development in the IT field. Perhaps you’ve also gained some initial professional experience in the IT field or in digital transformation since completing your bachelor’s degree and would like to build your knowledge in this area on a more solid and up-to-date foundation. If so, this program might be the perfect fit for you. Students from related fields enrich the courses and interdisciplinary teams with their expertise. The master's degree in Wirtschaftsinformatik does, however, require certain prior knowledge. This includes, above all, an understanding of software development and databases. Depending on your prior knowledge and experience, there are several options available: You have a bachelor’s degree in a field where you’ve acquired sufficient knowledge in computer science and business administration. This includes, for example, the Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen program with a specialization in Computer Science or the Media and Business Plus program at Hochschule Offenburg. You have computer science knowledge from a previous program of study—for example, having started a degree in Computer Science—or you have sufficient knowledge of programming and other areas of Informatik through professional or other experience. This must be evident from your application materials. In both of these cases, you can be admitted to the master’s program in Wirtschaftsinformatik without any prerequisites. If you have a degree, for example, in Business Administration or Industrial Engineering but lack prior knowledge in Computer Science, you may be granted admission with conditions. This means you will need to complete 1 or 2 modules from the bachelor's degree program in Business Informatics. Which modules these are will be determined on a case-by-case basis after you submit your application. Typically, these are the Software Engineering module and the Databases module (5 ECTS each). The same rule applies here: If you have relevant knowledge—for example, if you can program—you should indicate this in your application. A special case applies if your bachelor’s degree comprises 180 credits (this is usually the case for bachelor’s degrees from universities). In that case, you must in any event demonstrate an additional 30 credits to earn a master’s degree. You must then earn these 30 credits through modules from the bachelor’s degree program in Business Informatics (part of this can also be fulfilled through a qualifying internship). You have a degree with sufficient computer science knowledge but lack the fundamentals of business administration. This applies to bachelor’s degrees in Applied Computer Science or traditional engineering disciplines such as Mechatronics or Medical Technology. In such cases, the admissions committee often requires you to complete a business administration module from the bachelor's degree program, depending on your chosen specialization. The following always applies: Admission is based on a ranking process. Your bachelor’s grade and your suitability for the program (as determined by your application materials) are weighted equally. If admission is granted with conditions, you must fulfill these conditions by the end of the master’s program—not before! However, we recommend making up any missing prerequisites as early as possible. The grades in these modules do not count; you only need to pass them and provide proof of the credits. Regardless of any conditions, there may always be instances where you lack the prerequisite knowledge for a module. In such cases, all master’s students are expected to fill these gaps on their own. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask your lecturers. The admission regulations are legally binding. Since bachelor’s degrees at the Hochschule Offenburg, as at most other universities of applied sciences, are structured around 210 credits, our master’s programs are correspondingly worth 90 credits. Students with a bachelor's degree worth 180 credits must therefore earn an additional 30 credits, either through courses from the bachelor’s program or a qualifying internship. More specific details are outlined in the admission regulations or individual requirements.
