Web-based Systems professionals

The core of the qualification profile and hence the primary training objective is all-round knowledge of Web-based systems at a high level. The typical features of this degree program include the development of skills for recognizing patterns and processes and for rapid familiarization with new topic areas. These kinds of systems may be located on the public Web (Cloud services, content management systems, e-commerce systems, etc.) or inside the company (ECMS, CRM, portal systems). 

Combining technology & management

At the forefront of the degree program is the development of wide-ranging technical knowledge in the fields of Web communication and information systems. Alongside the key properties of distributed IT infrastructures such as scalability, security and availability, the portfolio of the Master’s program includes tried-and-tested skills in the management of complex software system development and introduction processes. These elements are complemented by subject knowledge on the social impact of Web-based software systems (social software). In addition, professional project and quality management is integrated into the teaching content and elective subjects are used to individualize the training profile.

Freedom to focus

Course content can be individualized by choosing elective modules. Due to the unique integration with other master’s programs,* students learn to work in an interdisciplinary way during their studies and are thus prepared for the challenges of heterogeneous fields of work. In order to make it easier for people with different educational backgrounds to start their studies, an optional preparation course is offered.

Core content areas and their interconnection

The subject area of the WCIS Master's program is characterized by two focal points: On the one hand, by the engineering processes from conception to development to operation - on the other hand, by the various technologies and applications for mobile and web-based systems. The diagram names the respective core topics and shows the interaction with which the two focal points intertwine.

Recognition of prior learning

Students have the opportunity to have courses credited to them with previously acquired competencies before the start of the respective semester. The crediting is done by an application directly to the director of studies.
