Abstract

The following paper summarise some aspects of current study programmes in Information Systems and focuses on Business Informatics. The success of business informatics derives from the benefits that arise when business administration concepts are integrated with computer science technologies and software engineering principles to form a coherent methodological approach. In addition, addressing the need for an innovative and cross-disciplinary study model to equip graduates with transformation skills we have developed a Masters Study programme in business informatics. This paper outlines the core elements of this programme and outlines a survey on evaluating information systems and business informatics curriculum.
