Business Informatics is about designing information systems for maximum utility and value in an organization. This involves looking at how people work and how organizations function, as well as the design and implementation of IT systems that support their operation. The B.A.Sc. in Business Informatics meets a strong current need for IT professionals with skills in areas such as business analysis. Combining the Core of Computer Science and the Core of a Business Degree, students study the leading issues on the cross road of Business and Information Technology. The focus lies on the planning, development, implementation, operation, optimization and economic use of information and communication systems. Business Informatics specialists are often considered as the interpreters - between IT and business administration staff who often live in completely different worlds and talk at cross purposes. They need not only commercial and technical know-how for this but must also be able to express themselves well and mediate between people.

The employment opportunities for a student graduating with the B.A.Sc in Business Informatics are manifold: * Analysis, planning, design and use of in-house information systems, * Modelling and IT-supported optimisation of business processes, * Management in an E-business company * Design and setting up of database systems, * Employment in financial institutions such as banks and insurances, * Development of E-business applications such as WWW based commerce applications.
