The Business Information Systems for Digital Commerce – build data-driven digital commerce expertise

The Business Information Systems for Digital Commerce programme trains digital commerce specialists capable of leading and developing digital commerce in organisations of varying sizes. The programme builds competence around data, information systems, and customer value creation as an integrated whole.

Students develop a combination of data-driven business understanding and foundational programming skills, enabling them to contribute measurably to digital commerce development alongside technical teams. Graduates are equipped to manage customer experience and optimisation as well as the platform, integration, and payment aspects of digital commerce — safely, ethically, and in compliance with applicable regulations.

Personalized study paths

In the first year, you will develop a good foundation in different areas of business information technology and start building your professional profile by doing core competence studies. 

From the second year onwards, you have the opportunity to start personalizing your study path by doing complementary competence studies. 

We also offer modules combining expertise from various different fields. You can also complete part of your studies in multidisciplinary development projects and learning environments (e.g. in student cooperatives). Towards the end of the programme, you will gain practical experience by working in the organisation of your choice.

The contents of the Degree Programme in Business Information Systems are designed in cooperation with businesses and with an eye on future competence needs. The programme prepares students for a range of roles involving digital technologies. 

All degree programmes at our UAS include complementary competence studies that allow you to broaden and personalise your expertise. You can choose complementary studies from your own field of study, or from other fields of study.
