Three departments – one mission.

Our departments form the academic foundation of our university. They combine subject expertise, interdisciplinary thinking and practice-oriented research. In the fields of business & psychology, health sciences and information technology & business informatics, they generate ideas for teaching, research and transfer that have a direct impact on studies, careers and society.

In the strategic focus area “Digital Transformation”, the departments pool their expertise together with a dedicated competence team to drive new ideas jointly. This collaboration creates an interdisciplinary network that sparks innovation, opens up new perspectives and actively shapes the key topics of the future in this field.

A shared focus.

At the heart of our work is the combination of academic quality, digital transformation and practice-oriented knowledge transfer. Through close collaboration with partners from business, professional practice and the public sector, the departments actively contribute to shaping a sustainable, future-ready society.
