Programme Director
Information technology is not only about dry technical topics, but also about application and innovation: how we can support the renewal of business or everyday activities through IT. Business informatics is an exciting field within IT, combining creativity, problem-solving skills, organisational ability, and solid technical knowledge. From this intersection of business, management, and IT, it is easy to move forward in either direction after completing the bachelor’s programme. Our graduates can look forward to well-paid positions and engaging professional challenges.
