More and more, new developments, both in academia and practice, take place within the interface areas of traditional disciplines. With the ICB, we have responded to this challenge: Its research groups cover large parts of Computers Science, Applied Informatics and Information Systems as well as Information Management. This gives us an excellent position for investigating various aspects of systems analysis and design. Our emphasis is on applied research, which is aimed at methods and tools that increase the performance and competitiveness of organizations. The wide range of research is reflected in our degree and teaching programmes, too. The Bachelor and Master degrees, in Wirtschaftsinformatik (Information Systems) and "Angewandte Informatik - Systems Engineering", provide excellent career perspectives.
