Course content
Detailed study plan
The six-semester Bachelor's degree cleverly combines computer science and business modules to give you a balanced dual qualification. As early as the first semester, you decide on one of the two specializations, analysis or management, and take the corresponding specialized modules. In the first semesters, you will lay solid foundations in both departments: from programming and operating systems to business administration and accounting.
Depending on your chosen specialization, you will continuously deepen your knowledge of business process modelling or IT security and network technology. At the same time, you will acquire important key skills in law, languages and empirical social research. You will spend the fifth semester abroad and gain valuable international experience. In the final semester, you will apply your skills in a practical project and write your Bachelor's thesis, in which you will combine both departments in a meaningful way.
For the KIAdirekt variant, practical phases are completed in the company during the lecture-free period.
