KIT’s Information System Program is characterized by real interdisciplinarity based on a cross-faculty model involving the KIT Departments of Informatics and Economics & Management. The Master's Program of Information Systems has a duration of four semesters and comprises four pillars of studies.

1. Information Systems: The Information Systems modules impart both established concepts of Information Systems, such as the development and management of information systems, and modern aspects of Information Systems, such as the development of digital business models.
2. Informatics: This pillar covers a wide range of choices in the field of Informatics such as algorithms, data engineering, software engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, telematics, safety, and human-machine interaction.
3. Economics & Management: In the area of economics & management, a large variety of courses can be chosen e.g. in entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, production, operations research, econometrics, or economics.
4. Law: KIT offers a large range of law modules with a particular focus on information technology.

The desired breadth of qualification is achieved by students having to pass at least two modules in the amount of 18 credits in each of the four thematic core areas mentioned above. In informatics, modules in the total amount of 30 credits must be attended. At least two seminars in business informatics, informatics, economics, or law and the Master's thesis serve to develop the students’ capability of writing and presenting own scientific work.

Thanks to the involvement of the two KIT departments, the Master's program offers many selection and specialization options and pursues a research-oriented teaching concept of high practical relevance.

KIT graduates are characterized by their interdisciplinary methodological competence and their innovative skills in shaping digital transformation of business and society. Based on their knowledge and skills, graduates are capable of independently identifying economic and information technology situations as well as innovative development potentials for the digitization of processes, products, and services and of implementing these potentials within the existing legal framework conditions.

KIT graduates in Information Systems design information assets in an interdisciplinary manner and develop information systems from a socio-technical perspective to create social and economic value by the digitization of business and society. They can analyze and structure complex subject-relevant problems and requirements and develop customized solutions and action options. Advantages and drawbacks of existing methods, models, technologies, and approaches can be identified, compared to alternatives, critically assessed, and transferred to new applications. In accordance with the needs, KIT graduates can also combine and adapt these methods and independently develop novel solution options that are then implemented using innovative information and communication technologies. Depending on the subjects chosen, KIT graduates will possess the qualifications needed for interdisciplinary activities as IT managers, consultants, technology entrepreneurship, process managers, startup founders, as well as for a further scientific career.

The contents of the studies are structured in a modular way.
