MSc_Studienablauf

Your Master's degree program is blended learning with classroom sessions and self-study phases. The NORDAKADEMIE provides you with all learning materials online and offline and also supervises you personally.

Four to six weeks before your first lecture, you will receive access to the first study materials. At the beginning of your studies, you will also receive your student ID card.

Consistent study groups enable you to have an intensive exchange and excellent cooperation. In the Master's project, you will also work together in interdisciplinary teams. All modules follow one another in time with subsequent examinations. This means that you only have to prepare for one exam at a time.

Our recommendation: When comparing the tuition fees of private universities, you should always look out for "hidden" costs, e.g. for enrollment, exams or study time extensions. If providers do not disclose these fees or only inform you about them after you have been entered in a list of prospective students, you will often be charged above-average fees.

The interdisciplinary Master's program Business Informatics/IT Management at NORDAKADEMIE enables you to identify problems, design tailor-made solutions and implement them. In doing so, it is just as important to have information technology know-how as it is to understand business processes. 

Our aim is to provide you with education that will enable you to increase the company's earning power in the long term in a dynamic competitive environment - while at the same time taking social and ecological concerns into account. 

This makes a Master's degree from NORDAKADEMIE a solid basis for you to pursue a career in any management position for which you need high-quality IT knowledge and business expertise.
