The FFHS is a new cooperation partner in the MSc Business Informatics
The MSc Business Informatics is aimed at people with a bachelor's degree who want to be at the forefront of shaping the digital transformation. In September 2022, the already established master will also start at the Distance Learning University of Applied Sciences Switzerland (FFHS), as a cooperative offering of four Swiss universities of applied sciences.
The Distance Learning University of Applied Sciences Switzerland FFHS is the new partner university for the MSc Business Information Systems program, which is offered jointly with the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) and the OST - Ostschweizer Fachhochschule. The master's program is held for all participants at the FFHS's new location, the Gleisarena Campus at Zurich HB. FFHS course director Stefan Eggel is delighted: "Through the cooperation of four universities, we are taking advantage of valuable synergies. Each school has its own focus areas that it can bring to the study program."
MSc Business Information Systems can be completed in four to six semesters
The MSc Business Information Systems comprises 90 ECTS credits and can be completed in four semesters while working, with a recommended workload of 60 percent.
