The Master in Business Informatics

The Master in Business Informatics (MSc) requires 90 ECTS credits, and is made up of courses (at least 45 ECTS), an internship (18 ECTS) and a Master's thesis (27 ECTS). The degree usually takes 3-4 semesters to complete with a maximum duration of 8 semesters, which permits a part time completion - for details see the reglement Art. 7. While some courses are taught in German or French, most courses are taught in English so students who speak English, but not German or French, can complete the Master's program without worrying about language barriers.

An overview of the Master in Business Informatics can be found on the website of the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences. You can also consult information about a minor in Business Informatics.
