About the degree program

Modern companies need specialists who understand IT systems as well as economic contexts. The Bachelor's degree in Business and Computer Science in Görlitz trains you to be precisely this sought-after interface. You will acquire equal skills in both areas and become a valuable link between technology and management. This dual qualification opens up unique career opportunities for you in a digitalized business world.

Interdisciplinary expertise for complex challenges

The degree program systematically combines two departments and provides you with a wide range of skills:

  • Solid business fundamentals in management, accounting and economics
  • Specialist knowledge in business informatics, ERP systems and IT security
  • Methodical skills in business process modeling and project management

The two specializations in analysis and management allow you to develop a specific profile. With this unique combination, you will be ideally prepared to successfully design digitalization projects and act as a link between technical and business requirements.

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 modeling 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.
