On-campus program Business Information Management (B.Sc.) – Provadis School of International Management and Technology

Who is the Business Information Management degree suitable for?

The Bachelor's programme in Business Information Management at the Provadis School of International Management and Technology is aimed at school leavers with a university entrance qualification as well as working professionals seeking a career at the interface of business and IT. It particularly addresses individuals who want to manage digital transformation processes, take on project management tasks, or develop and optimise operational information systems. The target group also includes those who already have a practical placement, vocational training, or professional experience in relevant fields and wish to combine academic knowledge with practical work experience.

What formal admission requirements apply?

You can be admitted to the programme if you hold at least one of the following qualifications:

• General university entrance qualification (Abitur)
• Subject-specific university entrance qualification or advanced technical college entrance qualification (Fachhochschulreife)
• Professional qualification according to the Hessian Higher Education Act (e.g. master craftsman’s certificate, advanced training) following individual assessment

In addition, you must provide a contract for employment, training, or a practical placement relevant to the programme (dual or part-time work-study model). A personal admission interview is also part of the selection process. If your Abitur average grade is below 2.5, the university will first conduct a short online motivation test. You will only receive a binding offer of a study place after a positive overall result.

You should have a strong interest in IT topics and economic issues. Analytical thinking skills are important for understanding complex processes and developing digital solutions. Communication skills and presentation competence will help you convey project results. Self-motivation, self-organisation, and resilience are essential to combine professional practice with study. Prior experience in computer science, mathematics or business is advantageous but not mandatory.
