About Business Informatics Bachelor Of Science in SRH Hochschule Heidelberg

Contents, goals and course of study

Consultant, IT system developer, analyst, navigator, communicator ...

all of these are roles that you can assume as a business IT specialist in a company.

The business informatics course, as an interface science between business and computer science, is based on these roles in its curricular structure: With its three main areas of computer science, consulting and data science , we support competence- oriented specialization in a variety of occupational fields.

Competence-oriented studies

Basically, the aim of the business informatics course is to prepare students for the job market , which is characterized by rapid technological change. Graduates are able to identify technology potential , evaluate it and actively help shape changes. Particular emphasis is placed on problem-solving skills, methodological skills for project management and communication skills .

For example, design thinking has been firmly anchored in our curriculum since 2013 , and individual modules are built entirely according to design thinking. Design thinking stands for a creative and innovative method that contributes to the development of solutions to business problems . In companies, employees from different departments work together in a creative environment. Areas such as observation, understanding, brainstorming, refinement and early prototyping are effectively combined here. Design Thinking's motto: "fail early, fail often, fail cheap."

Study as an alternative to dual studies

In addition to the theoretical basics of a WI course, you complete a four-month mandatory internship in a company of your choice, which can be extended to up to 6 months . You also prefer to write your bachelor's thesis in cooperation with a company of your choice. In addition, you are already working with real customers in project-related modules . In total, you will have up to almost 12 months of professional experience in addition to studying and with different companies and different corporate cultures.
