Special features

One of the key features of this major is that it helps students develop skills in two areas: first, technical knowledge of technological and IT tools and secondly, an understanding of management. The course is therefore open to holders of a Bachelor’s in business economics as well as management IT. The variety of the course content gives future graduates the opportunity to develop their multidisciplinary teamwork skills. Students with a more technical background will learn how to use their knowledge to support the business’s strategy, while students with more business experience will develop the necessary expertise to be able to interact with developers or data scientists. All students will develop skills in thinking about how to make the best use of information systems to exploit a competitive advantage.
