Various mobile devices with various operating systems are available for the development of mobile applications in the area of the Web.

The department is involved in numerous interdisciplinary research projects that are carried out both across faculties and across the EU. One thematic focus is on the areas of AI and cybersecurity.

High level of practical relevance in teaching through the analysis and concept design of current topics in Business Informatics by students as part of seminars and project studies. This fosters collaboration, especially with regional companies. In this way, the path to company contacts, company work placements and permanent positions is promoted at an early stage, thereby increasing career prospects. In seminars and projects, attention is paid to a small group size and correspondingly individual support options by several partners.
