Business Intelligence and Process Management

The Master in Business Intelligence and Process Management at the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin (HWR) is designed for graduates from Germany and abroad who have completed a career-oriented first degree (usually a Bachelor's degree) and would like to study for a postgraduate degree with an international group of students. The emphasis is on information technology as an enabler for corporate value creation. The "Business Intelligence" stream stresses the growing importance of data for corporate decision making (this trend of larger and more complex data sets is called "Big Data"). The "Business Process Management" stream focuses on the organisational impacts of ICT (information and communication technology). The programme prepares students for positions as business IT specialists, data scientists, data engineers, business analysts, consultants, project managers, or executive managers in companies active in the international arena. All courses are set up as interactive seminars and taught in English. Main teaching methods are case studies, project-oriented learning, and team-based learning. The small group size encourages direct dialogue and close contact between students and academic staff, facilitating intensive work and eye-opening discussions.
