Study program

The Bachelor's degree course in Information Technology has been available since the winter semester 2023/2024 and emerged from the Bachelor's degree course in Digital Technologies. During the course of study, it is possible to choose the specializations "Digital Technologies", "Intelligent Mobility" and "Robotics".

For students of the Digital Technologies study program who were enrolled in this study program before the winter semester 2023/2024, the examination regulations linked below will continue to apply until the specified expiry date. The binding regulations on this applicability, the expiry of this study program and the transition to the Information Technology study program can be found in § 40 of the Information Technology study program examination regulations (see link below).

Since the winter semester 2023/2024, students of the Digital Technologies study program can find some modules of the old examination regulations under a new module name in the current module handbook, the current module plan and the study program examination regulations of the Information Technology study program. The assignments of the old module designations to the new module designations can be found in the equivalence lists in Annex 7 and Annex 8 of the study program examination regulations (see link below) of the Information Technology study program.

The link to the formerly valid module plans for the Digital Technologies study programs are provided below for information purposes.

This study program is offered jointly with the Federal College of Orthopaedic Technology.

Do you find engineering, health and medicine exciting? Does interdisciplinary work appeal to you? Are you team-oriented and responsible? Then the Biomedical Information Technology Master's study program may be the right fit for you.

Medicine without technology is unimaginable today. In the future, the importance of technology in and for medicine will only increase. The Biomedical Information Technology Master's study program enables you to help shape this future.

Information technology is at the interface between electrical engineering and computer science. The Biomedical Information Technology Master's study program deals with how modern information technology processes and systems can be used to maintain or restore health and provide support in everyday life. This includes medical issues as well as assistance systems and sports and fitness applications.

For example, how can wearables be implemented and used for medical purposes? How can robotics be used in the operating theater or in the field of assistance systems? How can diseases be detected or even predicted at an early stage using big data? How can artificial intelligence support doctors in their daily work? These and other questions are addressed in the Biomedical Information Technology Master's study program.

How do the Internet of Things, cloud systems and robots work? What is the role of cyber-physical and embedded systems? What can artificial intelligence be used for? What are modern mobile technologies like? How can cars drive autonomously on our roads and rovers on Mars?

In almost all areas of application of today's technology, information is recorded and processed electronically and used for a variety of purposes. This trend has been continuing for many years and will continue to grow in the coming years.

The importance of modern information technology in Business Studies, science and society can therefore not be overstated. Information technology combines electrical engineering and computer science and therefore makes it possible to look beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines. Engineers who can do this are desperately sought after.

The Master's degree program in Information Technology provides an in-depth insight into these fields, highlights current developments and trains students specifically in the latest technologies in order to provide them with the most advanced specialist knowledge and also the ability to perform contemporary engineering skills for their future work.

If you are interested in the latest exciting developments in information technology (especially what goes on behind the scenes) and have a soft spot for modern technology, you should study Information Technology at Fachhochschule Dortmund.
