Masters in Management Information Systems

The Masters in Management Information Systems (MMIS) offers rigorous and challenging training in information systems and technologies. The professionalizing nature of this master’s program and the development of the technical and scientific potential of these future areas will broaden students’ career prospects.

Partnerships

Students will also have the opportunity to enhance their international experience and business environment exposure with a hands-on SAP immersive program abroad. For that, we established a partnership with the University HTW SAAR (Saarbrücken Germany) and SAP*. In the scope of this partnership, we offer an optional program with a duration of one week, in which the students have SAP classes at our partner university and visits to SAP St. Ingbert, SAP headquarters in Walldorf, and an SAP consulting firm (additional fee applied**). We also offer, in the second year, an elective course in SAP (Enterprise Systems with SAP Labs).
