<p>In our society the significance of information and <b>communication</b> <b>technologies</b> (ICT) is constantly growing. It is mainly through innovative <b>IT</b> solutions that an increasing number of businesses, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, are enabled to improve their competitiveness and gain a lasting competitive advantage. There is a growing demand on the job market for highly qualified personnel, people with a distinctive personality who are able to operate efficiently at the interface between <b>applied</b> <b>informatics</b> and <b>management</b>. The connection of these two fields is evident in the concrete application of <b>electronic</b> <b>communication</b> and <b>collaboration</b> within companies.</p>
<p>The <b>degree program</b> not only includes an optional <b>exchange</b> semester but also offers four electives: <b>Digital arts & media</b>, <b>eLearning</b>, <b>eHealth</b> and <b>eTourism</b>. The <b>program</b> is complemented by an intensive dialogue with <b>business</b> experts from the field, which is reflected in joint academic <b>research</b> and practical projects.</p>

The program management will provide organizational support and mentoring in cooperation with the relevant company. This concept of learning by doing constitutes an ideal stepping stone for a future career and, furthermore, is often useful as the basis for writing a thesis.</p>
