Would you like to become actively involved in shaping the digitalization of society? If the answer is yes, then the Bachelor of Science in Business Information Technology is the ideal starting point for your professional career.

Business IT professionals work in the nerve centers of companies and organizations. Their responsibilities lie at the intersection of people and technology and include designing, implementing, and operating innovative, cutting-edge, and complex socio-technical systems.

After passing the first year of studies, students choose one of two specializations (majors): Business Information Systems or Data Science.

Business Information Systems is a traditional IT course with three focus areas: processes, system development, and analytics. Data Science focuses on analytics and data science. In particular, you will learn how to deal with data and extract valuable information for companies.

Both specializations offer excellent career prospects. With a Bachelor’s in Business Information Technology, you will be a sought-after expert able to work in Switzerland and all over the world.

The focus of this degree program is process design and the data flow of companies. When you graduate, you will have acquired both IT competencies and managerial skills. This interdisciplinary course of study will enable you to quickly grasp important concepts and interdependencies, effectively recognize the nature of problems, and familiarize yourself with new subject areas in an efficient manner. Graduates may also decide to further enhance their knowledge with a consecutive MSc program.
