Information Systems Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

During your studies, you have various subjects, which consist of one or more modules. A module deals with a specific topic and consists of one or more courses. In the module handbook for your degree program, you will find a description of the modules and their subject assignment as well as a study plan. This gives you an orientation as to which courses you should attend in which semester in order to complete your studies within the standard period of study. It takes into account a balanced distribution of courses over the individual semesters. It also ensures that you are first taught the important basics before moving on to more advanced topics. Your individual course of study may differ from this.

5. Mathematics (26 LP)
6. your mathematics program includes linear algebra, analysis, development of mathematical models, descriptive statistics, probability theory, elements of estimation and test theory
7. Economics (31 - 40 CP)
8. business administration (marketing, production, finance and accounting), operations research and economics
9. Law (26 CP)
10. fundamentals of the German Civil Code, public law and commercial law
