Humboldt University Berlin
Program Overview
The Master of Science in Information Systems programme equips students with the analytical, technological, and strategic skills needed to drive digital innovation and lead transformation in data-driven organisations worldwide. The degree programme aims to provide research-based instruction in the field of Information Systems ("Wirtschaftsinformatik") as well as to develop methodological competencies. A key component of the Master’s programme is increasing the students' ability to work independently and to develop the ability to methodically and reflectively assess even novel problem situations. Students acquire the necessary skills for professional work in the field of Information Systems or in academia through in-person teaching, virtual instruction, a high proportion of self-study, and intensive research seminars and projects—both individually and in collaboration with others. The Master's programme also opens opportunities to address interdisciplinary questions. It is designed to equip students with advanced subject-specific knowledge , skills, and methods in Information Systems, enabling them to take on responsible roles in business, academia, or public administration, and to apply scientific methods and findings to solve technical and economic challenges. Graduates are expected to acquire the cross-disciplinary key qualifications required for a broad and constantly evolving professional field. They should be able to critically assess, evaluate, and communicate the knowledge they have gained. They are equipped for lifelong learning and teamwork.
