Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Of special note is the international focus, not only through having English as the teaching language, but in particular through a wide international perspective in the development of subject areas such as Accounting and Economic Law. The substantive focus is on management. This also includes a clearly defined focus on “Applied Computing”, which involves skills in the context of SAP software and e-business/net economy. There are modern, e-learning-based teaching/learning formats that are developed in the school's own e-learning studio.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

Of special note is the international focus, not only through having English as the teaching language, but in particular through a wide international perspective in the development of subject areas such as Business Marketing and Digital Transformation. The focus is on business intelligence, business informatics, e-business and ERP, alongside management topics. Modern, e-learning-based teaching/learning formats that are developed in the school's own e-learning studio complement classroom teaching.

Special features regarding the international orientation

The Faculty has offered several programmes taught entirely in English for 25 years. The share of international students is therefore high, which creates an environment of cross-cultural exchange. A dual-degree option has been in place for some of these programmes for over 10 years. The Faculty operates and develops an international learning network on the subject to “Net Economy”.

Special features regarding the equipment

A very modern IT infrastructure and access to latest SAP applications in a practice-oriented test environment create the best conditions for a target-oriented course of studies.

Special features regarding research activities

Research projects mainly related to artificial intelligence and digitalisation are incorporated into teaching with current examples and research results, e.g. Digitalise_SWF, KOMMIT.digital and Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence (TaLAI).

Other special features

For BBA, IMIS and for IMIS Online, there is a degree programme office with extensive services in addition to the programme directors; among other things, these respective offices help students become integrated in their degree programmes and life in Germany as quickly as possible, and to cope with the organisation of career-integrated studies.
