Bachelor in Informatics and Management of Digital Business

text

In our Bachelor in Informatics and Management of Digital Business you will first learn the formal basics in mathematics and statistics, and then go on to tackle both fundamental courses in computer science (such as programming, modelling and databases, algorithms & data structures, system security and networks), and introductory courses in business administration and economics.

We will then cover topics required to intersect Computer Science and Economics (such as Enterprise Modelling, ERP Systems, Engineering and Management of Software Systems, Data Mining and Decision Support Systems) and you will specialize in either Digital Finance and Financial Markets or Digital Marketing and Advertising.

Study Plan

Here you can find the structure of the whole study course with the allocation of lectures on years and semesters, as well as some general information.

Course contents: overview of the topics covered in the study course

Here you can find the short version of the syllabi of all lectures offered in the study course, with the topics covered in each course, giving you a general overview.

Detailed course description

The detailed information on the courses offered in each academic year, with the indication of the lecturer, educational objectives, teaching format, learning outcomes, assessment, evaluation criteria and reading list, can be found in the course descriptions that you can download from the page Course Offering.

Your Tutor

Each Bachelor student has an individual Tutor.

Tutors are researchers or professors of the Faculty that help you to get information and take decisions related to their study career. More details can be found under Tutoring.

Choosing and changing your specialisation

At the beginning of the second semester of the first year you must choose which specialisation to follow. The choice is done through the MySNS on-line portal.

Specialisation changes must be justified; they have to be submitted within one month of the start of second year and must be approved by the Degree Course Committee.

Language requirements

Language requirements

The official teaching languages are German, Italian and English. The levels of the Common European Framework of Reference apply.
Your 1st language is the language in which you have the highest level of proficiency (B2 or C1).
Your 3rd language is instead the language in which you are weaker (or in which you are an absolute beginner).  

A B1 level in the 3rd language is the minimum requirement for taking curricular exams in that specific language.

Language levels at graduation:

To be admitted to the degree examination you must certify the following minimum levels in the three languages:    

  • 1st language: C1
  • 2nd language: C1
  • 3rd language: B2 

If you are not able to certify these levels you are not allowed to graduate. 

Language levels required to take the curricular language courses:

Curricular language courses are the language courses in your study plan and they are part of the 180 ECTS credits required to graduate.

To be admitted to the curricular language courses you must certify a minimum level of B1 in the language of the respective course.

For more information on languages please contact our Language Centre.

Additional Learning Obligations (“Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi” - OFA)

Possible Additional Learning Obligations (“Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi” - OFA) in the mathematics area are assigned as part of the admission procedure.

If you are assigned these obligations, you must attend a catch-up course in mathematics offered by the Faculty before the start of the “Introduction to Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics" course of the 1st semester and pass the relevant test.

If you do not pass the test, you have to attend an individual study programme defined together with your tutor to fill in the gaps and you still have to complete the OFA by passing the test or alternatively the “Introduction to Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics" exam within the 1st study year.

If you do not complete the OFA within the 1st study year, you may enrol in the 2nd study year, but you are not allowed to take exams of the 2nd and 3rd study years.

Free Choice credit points

Internships

Your study plan requires you to complete a compulsory internship of 6 credits. You can decide to do the internship in any semester of the three years of study, including the summer.

However, the provisions of the University's General Internship Regulations remain valid: you may begin your compulsory internship only after having obtained a minimum of 30 CP.

This compulsory training and work experience internship is carried out in an external organization, providing an opportunity to combine study and work and facilitating professional choices through direct knowledge of the world of work.

You can do internships also as part of your Free Choice credits (see below).

You can find detailed information, deadlines and regulations in the section of the Study Guide devoted to internships.

Free Choice credit points

To achieve your "Free Choice" Credit Points, you can choose:

  • lectures of Bachelor Degrees of the Faculty of Engineering
  • other lectures at unibz or at other universities
  • an Internship or Project of 6 or 12 credits
  • extracurricular courses for which the possibility of recognition within the study course is explicitly stated

Send your proposal via e-mail from your unibz account to the Faculty Secretariat well before the exam session

If you choose lectures of the Bachelor Degrees of the Faculty of Engineering, in your proposal you must indicate: 

  • your name
  • your student ID
  • the lecture title
  • the lecture code

If you choose other lectures, in your proposal you must indicate: 

  • your name
  • your student ID
  • the lecture title
  • the lecture code
  • the credit points assigned to the lecture
  • the name of lecturer
  • the Faculty, Degree Course and University offering the lecture

Proposals are accepted without the need for approval by the Course Council, except in cases where the course is equivalent to a course already included in your study plan, or similar but at a lower level. Doubtful cases are submitted to the Course Council for approval.

If your choice is approved, the course is added to your study plan and labeled "Free Choice".

If the course is from another Faculty or from another University, you have to arrange your attendance with the respective Faculty / University / Professor.

If you choose an Internship or a Project:

You have to follow all deadlines and regulations set for internships

If you choose an extracurricular courses for which the possibility of recognition within the study course is explicitly stated:

Send an e-mail from your unibz account to the Faculty Secretariat indicating the name of the course.
