Weiterbildender Verbundstudiengang (Postgraduate part-time study course)

Who is the study course aimed at and what career prospects does it offer?

IMIS Online builds on a Bachelor’s or diploma degree in economics (business), business informatics or a comparable field of study and the first years of employment. The program is aimed at up-and-coming employees who wish to further develop their knowledge in management and IT.

How is the study course structured?

The Master’s program International Management & Information Systems ‑ Online (IMIS Online) is a professional part-time course that is conducted online apart from two on-campus phases, thus the course provides students the opportunity to obtain the M.A. degree while continuing their professional employment.
State-of-the-art technologies allow for a sophisticated distance learning experience, which is supplemented with a face-to-face introductory week and a face-to-face summer camp on campus. The design of a self-study that is flexible and adapted to individual learning processes is ensured by e-lectures, web-based trainings, interactive virtual collaborative learning concepts as well as by a consequent course coordination through the Learning Management System Moodle.
The program has a standard period of study of four semesters, a volume of 90 credits, and comprises thirteen compulsory modules as well as a Master's project consisting of a Master's thesis (21 credits) and a colloquium (4 credits).
The modules in the first three semesters have a scope of 20 credits. The fourth semester, which includes a module on research methods in addition to the Master's project, comprises 30 credits.
