What students say

Via StudyCheck · 2024-2026: an aggregated rating, not our own assessment, paraphrased in our own words and never quoted.

4 /5

19 StudyCheck reviews average 4.0/5 with an 89% recommendation rate. Reviewers describe a broad master drawing modules from computer science, information systems and management; they value the tutorials for reinforcing lecture material and note the pace builds over the semesters, with some lectures considered manageable through self-study. Digital delivery is solid. Scope note: this is the Master's-level 'Wirtschaftsinformatik' listing - distinct from the larger bachelor listing under the same name.
