Course Description
New digital technologies provide companies with ever-greater possibilities for gathering, linking, and evaluating information. To take advantage of novel technologies, like intelligent products, companies need skilled professionals for the design and implementation of linked, end-to-end IT systems. Information engineering considers the entire chain from the sensor to the IT system through to the business model, making it an essential field of expertise for digital transformation. The end-to-end design of a cyber-physical business system to solve complex socio-technical problems requires the integration of expertise from the fields of sensor technology, information systems, and business models, which come from different disciplines.
The aim of the four-semester master's degree course in Information Engineering is to prepare students for the role of the innovation-driven, research-qualified information engineer who can design cyber-physical business systems from the sensor to the IT system to the business model. The master's degree in Information Engineering builds on and deepens the skills acquired in the bachelor's degree in Information Engineering (or Informatics/Industrial Engineering). The degree qualifies students for further academic education in the context of a doctorate (research qualification).
