Cooperative Bachelor Degree Programme in
Business Software Development

In collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences JOANNEUM and the Technical University of Graz

Informaticians are needed more than ever. By offering this cooperative Bachelor degree programme, CAMPUS 02 meets the demand for informaticians on the labour market in a sustainable way. The cooperative organisational form of the degree programme ensures that students can reconcile study and work life. This means that, on the one hand, already existing specialists can increase their knowledge and hone their skills and, on the other hand, a new target group can be addressed that wishes to develop academic and, in parallel, on-the-job professional skills.

We shape tomorrow’s business world

The Degree Programmes in IT & Business Informatics at CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences focus on software engineering and have been offering an extra-occupational Bachelor degree programme in Graz since 2006 and an extra-occupational Master degree programme since 2008. In contrast to and in agreement with other higher education institutions in the region, the emphasis of the degree programmes in IT & Business Informatics has, since their creation, been on combining work and study.

The cooperative training approach of the Bachelor Degree Programme in Business Software Development is another option for students and Styrian businesses to reconcile academic and on-the-job training. The degree programme was developed in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences JOANNEUM and the Technical University of Graz (TU Graz) and has therefore been integrated into and adapted to the portfolios of the three higher education institutions.

What makes the cooperative degree programme special is the fact that training takes place both at CAMPUS 02 and the partner company. During the first academic year, classes are primarily held by lecturers from the Faculty of Computer Science at the TU Graz. As of the third semester, attendance times at CAMPUS 02 are reduced to 2 days a week giving students time to work at the partner company for the rest of the week. The partner companies offer these training places as part of the cooperation and are active in many different sectors, yet they are all united by their high demand for academic specialists due to the changes brought by rapid digitalisation. Not only do companies from the industrial and IT services sector take part in this cooperation, but also banks and public administration offices. This abundance of sectors gives students access to many different fields of professional activities.

 

A unique balance of study and work life

Should I go to university or get a job? This is a question that no longer needs to be asked. In future, students will be able to directly incorporate the acquired expert knowledge into their daily work routine whilst benefitting from the combination of further training, work life and an academic network of people.

Providing a diverse network

This innovative study model is a product of the collaboration between CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences, University of Applied Sciences JOANNEUM and the Technical University of Graz and provides students with a unique network of people, and encourages them to broaden their horizons and think outside the box.

Soft skills development

Course units, such as Communications in Engineering, Self-organisation & Time Management, Presentation Techniques and Business English aim to help students develop important personal competences.

CURRICULUM

Career in Business Informatics

 

There are many advantages to not having to be bound to a single field after your studies. As a business informatician you have the opportunity to establish yourself in numerous fields – from IT services and consulting to bank and insurance industries, from logistics, telecommunication and business consulting to trade and production – the opportunities are many.

One fine specimen of a profession: The Bachelor degree programme focusses on the use of information technologies for the effective and efficient support of business processes. This includes the coordination of network technologies and data bases for production, project and process management in software engineering or internet technologies. The control of internal and industry-wide information systems as well as goal-oriented marketing and sales are combined with profound business administration.

With this new degree programme we have found an ideal way to meet the demands of the industry. It allows students to already gain on-the-job experience during their studies giving them the chance to work on the companies’ current problems on an academic level. In addition, the Bachelor’s is an excellent basis for our sequential extra-occupational Master degree programme in Information Technologies & Business Informatics, which students complete with a degree in engineering.
Stefan Grünwald
Head of Degree Programmes in Information Technologies & Business Informatics
In my opinion, the cooperative Bachelor degree programme represents an innovative approach to meeting the strong demand for IT specialists as it supports both employees and Styrian employers on their way to digitalisation and Industry 4.0.
