Qualification Profile
The Master programme in Information Systems qualifies students for leading positions applying IT in businesses and organisations, professional services companies and in the growing information and communication industry. The ultimate goal is to qualify students to take on IS leadership in their business environment. IS leadership means to give impulses, govern, manage and evaluate strategic activities in organisations which aim at the application of leading and innovative information and communication technologies in order to achieve competitive advantages. IS leadership also requires a level of interdisciplinary awareness of related fields such as management, personnel and organisation, law and computer science. This interdisciplinary understanding together with conceptual, modelling and communication skills allow graduates to bridge the gap between funcional departments and IT departments or external IT service providers. Graduates are qualified to professionally analyse information and communication landscapes of organisations from an architectural, a process-, a service- and a value-oriented perspective. The Master programme provides an excellent basis for an IT-oriented, IT-enabled or consulting career as well as an academic career, especially a PhD. programme.
