About the programme

The Master of Science in Information Systems at the University of Münster lets you build a clear profile by choosing one of three majors before you start: Data Science, Business Process Management, or Managing Digital Business. Electives cover the whole field and can include pure business or computer science courses. An orientation module, IS Thinking, helps you get started with your cohort. Seminars introduce research topics renewed every semester, and project seminars with companies give you practical insight and early career contacts, all in small groups. The programme is taught entirely in English, has 120 ECTS over four semesters full time on campus, and starts in winter or summer. The third semester can be spent at one of about 75 partner universities abroad, with support from the faculty's International Relations Center.
