Dual Study Program in Business Informatics

IT or business? Why not both? Business informatics is exactly about the intersection where both come together: You understand what is needed in the company – and think about how technology can help. Because just because something works technically doesn't mean it's really good in everyday life. And because business informatics is also a lot of business, you learn in your studies how companies tick – from business administration to controlling.

• 'Why do we actually do it so complicated?' If you like to ask yourself this question, you're in the right place. You find out where everyday work gets stuck and what could run more smoothly.
• What do the colleagues really need? You talk to users, listen, and find out what a digital solution must be able to do – not just what would be technically possible.
• Okay – and how does it become software? You translate the requirements into a technical solution and work on development, interfaces, and tests.
• Technically it runs. But does it also bring something? You get feedback, improve the solution, and see how an idea becomes something that really helps people in everyday life.
• And what does it actually cost? You learn business administration, economics, controlling, and accounting in your studies and see with us how numbers and budgets have a say in IT decisions.

• What you bring? You find technology exciting – but want to understand just as much what it's actually needed for.
• Your degree: You have technical college entrance qualification (Fachabitur) or high school diploma (Abitur).
• Math suits you. Logic, algorithms, and numbers are fun for you – because whether data models or evaluations: In business informatics, you constantly calculate and tinker.
• You can explain well. With good German – orally and in writing – you bring technology and requirements together and present solutions so everyone understands them.
• Tech interests you. Programming, software, and IT make you curious.
• Business interests you. About half of your lectures at the Nordakademie revolve around business administration, economics, controlling, and accounting. You don't need to know any of this yet, but you should want to understand how companies work.
• You don't just ask 'How?', but also 'Why?'. You want to understand what a company needs and which solution really makes sense.
• You like to think outside the box. If something doesn't work directly, you'd rather look for a solution than just leave it.
• You like working with people. Because good digital solutions rarely arise alone at the screen.
