TU/e, MSc, Business Information Systems

Information systems form the basis of the design, improvement and maintenance of business processes. They have grown into the largest and most complex technical products and form a highly integrated part of the operational processes within companies. An organization's information system is an essential component and if the system does not function as it should, it brings all other processes to a standstill. Whether multinationals, banks, insurance companies, government ministries, hospitals, travel companies or online shops, none of these can operate without a perfectly functioning information system. The integration of IT systems in business processes requires experts who possess knowledge of both computer science and business administration.
