New Business Information Systems degree programme provides support for every industry

Eisenstadt, February 18 2025: In today's digital economy, data, its processing into information and the use of the right technologies are decisive competitive factors - across all industries. Whether in the service sector, healthcare or the construction industry, companies need specialists who understand and can apply both IT and business management concepts.

Analyses show high demand on the job market

The new three-year Bachelor's degree programme in Business Information Systems* , which is offered at Campus Eisenstadt in a part-time organisational form, combines the disciplines of computer science and business administration. "There is a need for specialists who can combine these two areas and apply suitable frameworks and best practices - a needs analysis we conducted clearly shows this," says Stampfl. The job prospects are therefore bright and experts also confirm that the demand for specialists in the field of information and communication technologies will continue to grow.

Interface between people, organisation and IT

The degree programme teaches a broad range of skills and competencies that are in demand on the labour market. The course is designed to train specialists who can operate at the interface between people, organisation and IT and actively shape the digital transformation in companies. Students are also trained in analytical skills. They learn to analyse complex problems, critically scrutinise data and develop innovative solutions. Another important area is project and process management. Students acquire the skills to plan, implement and monitor projects, as well as to apply agile and traditional project management methods and process optimisation.

International projects and sought-after certificates

What distinguishes the new degree programme at the Burgenland University of Applied Sciences from autumn 2025 is, on the one hand, the part-time organisational form with on-campus teaching only fortnightly on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as the opportunity for students to participate in international projects, complete a semester abroad and be able to complete in-demand certificates as part of their studies.
