Master of Business Informatics

Summary

What is the Master of Business Informatics?

Business Informatics is a discipline combining informatics and management innovation and concepts, incorporating Service Computing and Security. It is a cross-disciplinary field that covers science and technology, and represents a promising direction for distributed computing and cloud computing methodologies. It aims to bridge the gap between business services and IT services by supporting the whole lifecycle of service innovation. Over the last ten years, service computing applications in business have produced considerable success. In the service and cloud computing space in particular, but also in other IT spaces, security is paramount.
