The Department of Information Systems at the WWU Münster is one of the biggest and most prestigious Information Systems departments in Germany, and periodic national rankings attest to its excellent reputation. The field of Information Systems covers the design, introduction and evaluation of intra- and inter-organisational information systems and – as an interdisciplinary, application-oriented subject – connects the research and teaching of Business and Economics, in particular Business Administration, with that of Computer Science.

The aim of the Department is to offer a broad business and IT education with an international focus. This is true both with regard to the broad scope of the foundational teaching content and the specific domains, which range from public administration and commerce to telecommunications.
