1 Information Systems

1.1 Content and objectives of the programme

Information Systems is an independent interdisciplinary subject area, which has its roots in

computer science and economics, in particular business administration.

Studying Information Systems opens up a wide range of applications for graduates at the in-

terface of business administration and computer science, especially in the planning, develop-

ment and introduction as well as operation of information systems. In this context, business IT

specialists perform a translation function between the business world of thought and language

on the one hand and a technically anchored system environment on the other. In particular,

business computer scientists find fields of activity in the field of the use of information technol-

ogy which require knowledge of the respective subject areas, in particular business manage-

ment knowledge. They can therefore be used in a wide range of company areas and industries.

Business information technologists can perform corresponding coordinating functions between

IT specialists and technical specialists on the application side, whereby consulting services

and project management are in the foreground. Due to the high innovation dynamics of IT as

well as its inherent innovation potential, business IT specialists are also equipped for entrepre-

neurial activities (entrepreneurship).

Abilities like the organization of specific application systems, business process organization,

technical system draft, requirement analysis, organizational implementation, change manage-

ment, the spreading architectural organization of the information system landscape as well as

the organization and co-ordination of an internal as well as intercompany information manage-

ment are obtained. The range of methods includes in particular methods of modelling data,

processes, as well as general internal and external structures and corresponding application

systems, and depending on the choice of study depth also methods of data analysis (business

intelligence, data science) or product and business model innovation.


2

Master's graduates have built up these skills in depth during their studies and thus aim at

higher and more advanced career paths in business and administration. By means of a tar-

geted specialisation, either in an informational or business context, the respective specialist

focus is set. Typical topics include, for example, the organization of the IT function in a com-

pany or system analysis and development as well as IT architecture. Central for business in-

formaticians is the application-oriented implementation of mostly formal, quantitative and sys-

tem analytical methods in addition to the ability to explain phenomena, behaviors of actors as

well as interrelationships of the use of IT in organizations (explanation goal of business infor-

matics). Due to the increasing importance of digitized data, there is an increasing demand for

graduates who are familiar with the acquisition, storage, search, distribution, modeling, analy-

sis and visualization of large amounts of data (Business Intelligence, Data Science). Here a

broad, predominantly informatically founded method spectrum is to be mastered. In particular,

it requires the ability to conceive corresponding systems and to guide their development with

technical understanding (design goal of business informatics). The spectrum of effects of the

graduates ranges from the design of innovative products or processes to business models.

Within the framework of the individual design of the course of studies, the study programme

offers students the opportunity to develop different profiles through the targeted selection of

specific courses in the main and supplementary areas. In particular, profiling opportunities are

offered in the areas of "Business Analytics and Data Science", "Digital Innovation and Entre-

preneurship" and "Digital Sustainable Society".

The "Business Intelligence and Data Science" profile focuses on the topics of data science,

business analytics, applied machine learning and parts of artificial intelligence. The focus here

is on generating value and knowledge from data. We translate real business questions into

concrete information systems; we model data, set up abstract models and apply a broad spec-

trum of modelling and analysis methods. Typically, we answer entrepreneurial questions using

algorithmic and heuristic methods, which are either developed as software or programmed by

modifying existing information systems. We use corresponding software tools, interpret, visu-

alize and discuss the results in context and evaluate the consequences of the practical imple-

mentation of corresponding information systems. For this purpose, we use methods from sta-

tistics, econometrics, machine learning and AI for questions in the areas of marketing, finance,

energy markets, production and logistics. The profiling of "Business Intelligence and Data Sci-

ence" thus prepares master students for different career paths in data science and analytics.

This includes the classic Data Scientist with strong management competence, consulting roles

in digital and data-driven projects and also roles as CEO or Data Scientist of founding compa-

nies that plan and decide on the basis of evidence.


3

The profile "Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship" focuses on the topics of digitalisa-

tion, digital transformation as well as IT- and data-based start-ups. Students learn skills, meth-

ods and approaches for the development of digital business models, for example through the

application of design thinking and business patterns, learn entrepreneurial basics, can develop

their own startup ideas and independently implement digital innovations based on technologies

such as artificial intelligence, machine learning or blockchain. The profile "Digital Innovation

and Entrepreneurship" trains master students for career paths that have a stronger focus on

innovation and entrepreneurship. Supported career goals include roles such as Digital Trans-

formation Program Manager, Chief Innovation Officer, CEO of start-up companies or consult-

ant roles in the areas of digital business models, process digitization or design-led innovation.

The "Digital Sustainable Society" profile focuses on digitalisation and the transformation to

a more sustainable society. Students learn sound methodological skills from the areas of Big

Data, Data Science and Machine Learning and at the same time gain deep insights into the

topic of sustainability, especially with regard to the energy and mobility system. In addition to

theoretical basics, teaching focuses on practical applications. Within the framework of data

science projects, students work with real data from the energy (consumption and production

data, microgrid transactions, etc.) and mobility industries (car sharing, bike sharing) and thus

learn IT-related methods for concrete applications. The "Digital Sustainable Society" profile

enables Master's students to pursue careers in the fields of start-up and innovation, for exam-

ple through new business models in the energy industry or the provision of mobility services.

On the other hand, the focus on methodological competencies (in particular data science and

machine learning) also makes it possible to work as a data scientist. In addition, the graduates

of the profiling program are excellently equipped for classical consulting roles and industrial

activities, especially with regard to digitization and sustainability.

1.2 Requirements

To be accepted on the programme, students must hold a bachelor degree in a relevant area

and meet the requirements set out in the “Regulations concerning determination of aptitude”

(Ordnung zur Feststellung der besonderen Eignung).

1.3 Programme structure

The programme carries a total of 120 ECTS credits and consists of a core and advanced sec-

tion (18 ECTS credits), a specialisation section (48 ECTS credits) and a supplementary section

(24 ECTS credits). Students complete the programme by submitting a master thesis (30 ECTS

credits). The specialisation section enables students to deepen their knowledge in information

systems and computer science and to choose specialisation seminars. They can also acquire

knowledge from other fields by taking modules in the supplementary section.

A part of the credit points can be achieved abroad at on of the foreign partner universities.

For students of the master programme the third semester ist recommended (see sample

study plan). The application must be provided approx. one year in advance. Further infor-

mation can be found on the faculty’s website.

1.4 Study Abroad Option

The WiSo Faculty offers a broad range of study abroad options within an excellent network of

prestigious partner universities worldwide. The so-called Study Abroad Programme (STAP)

includes ERASMUS exchanges and provides an opportunity for a single-term stay at one of

the WiSo Faculty's partner universities.

Successful STAP applicants benefit from direct contact and organisational support at the part-

ner university and are exempt from paying tuition fees there. The range of universities available

depends on the master course on which the student is enrolled – the possible options are listed

in the WiSo EXchange (WEX) International Outgoings Portal (access through the student's

UoC account only), along with detailed information on each university.

Every year, in addition to the STAP programme, the WiSo Faculty organises an exclusive

short-term study option WiSo@NYC which takes place in New York City.

https://www.wiso.uni-koeln.de/de/international/

https://wex-outgoings-wiso.uni-koeln.de/login/auth

In addition to these options offered by the Faculty, master students can also apply for a non-

WiSo exchange, offered by Dezernat 9 – Internationales (Central International Office of the

University of Cologne) within the ‘fakultätsübergreifende Partnerschaften’ framework. Further

possibilities are going abroad as a freemover (i.e. as a student who organises his or her stay

abroad individually) or participating in short courses or summer schools offered under separate

terms and conditions.

For all study abroad options, the International Relations Center (ZIB WiSo) serves as point

of information and advice.

The Faculty’s Study Abroad Programme (STAP):

Master students should plan and submit their application for a term abroad at the beginning of

their master course. The STAP main selection round takes place once a year with application

deadline 1 December and allows for an application either for fall term or spring term of the

following academic year. Detailed information on the selection criteria and the best preparation

for a STAP application can be found online in the STAP Master Application Manual. (As an

exception, if a certain number of slots are still available for spring term, a secondary STAP

selection round will be offered in May, with a limited choice of exchange opportunities):

Credit transfer options from studies abroad:

The WiSo Faculty has put a lot of emphasis on internationalisation in the design of its master

courses, offering broad credit transfer options for all kinds of study abroad options. Each mas-

ter course includes at least one "Studies Abroad" module, with a broad range of courses suit-

able for credit transfer. In addition, a single course-to-course credit transfer can be considered.

For more information on credit transfer rules and regulations, please go to WiSo Credit

Transfer Center > Information > Studies Abroad. For any questions regarding credit transfer,

students can contact the ZIB WiSo or the WiSo Credit Transfer Center.

1.6 Modules with mid-term examinations

Some modules have courses that only run for half a term and usually with twice the normal

number of classes. For these modules, the term is divided into two roughly equal halves. In

the fall, the mid-term usually ends at the beginning of December; in the spring, it is usually in

the middle or at the end of May. Often, the examinations for these courses are held mid-term,

enabling students to reduce their examination load at the end of term.

The information in the campus management system (KLIPS) regarding the dates of courses

and examinations is relevant in this context.

2 Support for students

2.1 Calculation of the overall mark

The marks for the individual examination elements are awarded by the respective examiner.

The overall mark for the master’s examination is calculated from the marks for the subject

categories, weighted according to the relation of their credit points to the total credit points

possible for the degree. The marks of the subject categories are calculated as the arithmetic

mean of the individual marks for examination elements, weighted according to the relation of

their credit points to the total volume of credit points of the examination elements of the re-

spective subject area. In the case of end-of-module examinations consisting of several com-

ponents, the mark for the module is calculated as specified in the annex.

The overall mark for the degree is calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of the marks for

the subject categories and the mark for the master’s thesis. On the Information Systems pro-

gramme, the weighting for the contributions to the overall mark is as follows:

a) Mark for core and advanced section: 18 of 120 ECTS credits

b) Mark for specialisation section: 48 of 120 ECTS credits

c) Mark for supplementary section: 24 of 120 ECTS credits

d) Mark for master’s thesis: 30 of 120 ECTS credits

2.2 Rules for failed attempts

Students may retake module examinations that they have failed. The number of attempts is

limited to three per module. Modules offered by faculties other than the Faculty of Manage-

ment, Economics and Social Sciences (“WiSo Faculty”) may be subject to different rules.

After failing an exam three times, the WiSSPo provides information regarding the possibility

and the requirements to receiving additional resit attempts. If none of the first three examina-

tion attempts were failed due to cheating or to an offence, further two resit attempts can be

granted at any point of the programme. Students who have accumulated at least 90 credit

points can be granted a further additional attempt. If a student fails an examination in the two

additional attempts and the extra attempt for students with 90 points or more, they are deemed

to have failed the programme at the final attempt. Where a module examination consists of

several components, the candidate must obtain a “bestanden” (pass) mark, or at least an

“ausreichend (4,0)“ (sufficient) mark, in all of the examination components. All components

marked “mangelhaft (5,0)” or “nicht bestanden” (fail) must be retaken.

It is not possible to resit module examinations that have already been passed.


12

A failed master’s thesis can be retaken once, with a new topic. Students must register for their

second attempt within six months of the result of their first attempt being announced.

2.3 Subject-specific advice and examination advice

WiSo Student Services (WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum) provides general advice on stud-

ies, including the possibilities available and the requirements, for all programmes offered by

the WiSo Faculty. It offers subject-specific recommendations concerning students’ study plan

for their first term on the respective programme plus information on the structures of the various

programmes. WiSo Student Services is also the first place to turn to for students with other

questions and problems related to their studies. It can be contacted by phone, in person and,

of course, e-mail. Please notice the opening hours and contact data on the website.

Subject-specific advice is provided during the designated times by the University’s faculty

members and associated teaching staff (“akademische Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter”) in-

volved in the teaching on the programme. The designated times are announced by means of

notices in the institutes and on the departments’/institutes’ websites.

Legally binding information concerning examinations and examination procedures is provided

by the WiSo Faculty Examination Offices. These offices also issue transcripts of records in

German and English, ranking certificates and letters of assignment to the appropriate term of

the programme. All the necessary information, contact details and opening hours can be found

on the website.

2.4 Other sources of information and advice

"KLIPS 2.0" is the central campus management system of the University of Cologne. At the

WiSo faculty, KLIPS 2.0 serves as a student organization tool. Students should use it as an

online course catalog, for registration and deregistration of courses and examinations, as well

as an overview of the complete study program and calendar. Information on current dates and

deadlines of the WiSo faculty, as well as video tutorials and FAQs about KLIPS can be found

on the homepage of WiSo-KLIPS-Support. If you have further questions, feel free to contact

WiSo-KLIPS-Support via e-mail ([email protected]). For account questions, contact the

central KLIPS support.

International students who study at the WiSo Faculty for part of their programme can turn to

the International Relations Center (“Zentrum für Internationale Beziehungen” or “ZIB”)

for help with any questions they have. Cologne University students preparing to study abroad

can also contact the ZIB for support. The Center also runs a variety of summer schools, short

programmes and Business English courses. The services, courses and people to contact can

all be found on the website.

The Faculty’s Credit Transfer Centre (Zentrum für die Anrechnung auswärtiger Leis-

tungen) is responsible for recognising credits accumulated in other institutions. This applies

both to credits students have gained at other higher education institutions in Germany or

abroad prior to studying at the WiSo Faculty, and to (advance) transfer of credits that students

plan to accumulate abroad or have already accumulated abroad as part of a WiSo Faculty

programme. This system does away with the need to make individual inquiries to depart-

ments/institutes and examination offices. Students can find out everything they need to know

about the transfer process on the website.

The WiSo Career Service offers advice and support, in cooperation with other partners, for

students from the WiSo Faculty looking for an internship or profession that is right for them. It

also helps them as they plan their career and apply for jobs. In addition, the WiSo Career

Service organises seminars, presentations and special events in cooperation with employers

and external and internal experts. All of the necessary information can be found on the website.

The WiSo IT Service runs regular courses dealing with standard software and field-specific

programs.

Students who are having difficulties with their studies or their personal lives can seek help from

the Psychosocial Counselling Service run by the Kölner Studentenwerk. In addition to coun-

selling, it also provides advice on writing and learning skills plus support for pregnant students

and students who have children.

A further service is Nightline Köln, the listening and information helpline run by students for

students at all of Cologne’s institutions of higher education.

3.4 Extracurricular course programme

In addition to their regular studies Master's students have the opportunity to take part in extra-

curricular courses, in which both academic and vocational skills are taught. Thus it can have

an academic and a professional orientation, which serve the development of professional com-

petences. The extracurricular course programme intends to promote and impart competences

that go beyond specialist knowledge or concern basic scientific or personal attitudes: scientific

curiosity, systematic and analytical thinking, dealing with complexity, solution-orientation and

other skills, e.g. the ability to work in a team and foreign language skills.

The extracurricular course programme is offered jointly by the faculties and the Professional

Centre of the University of Cologne and enables students to pursue their own additional inter-

ests, to gain insights into other subjects and faculties, to attend events of social importance, to

acquire professionally relevant skills and to attend language courses. In addition, students are

offered learning and study aids as part of the extracurricular programme, e.g. for scientific work

or literature research. Extracurricular courses are not credited, but the participation is noted on

the transcript of records.

3.5 Master’s thesis

The master’s thesis, which carries 30 ECTS credits, is written towards the end of the pro-

gramme. It is intended to show that the student is capable of conducting academic work on

and reflecting on a specific problem related to the subject matter covered on the programme,

using the necessary methods and within a specified period.

The topic of the master’s thesis on the Health Economics programme must come from the core

and advanced section or the specialisation section.

Group master’s theses are also permitted provided a clear distinction between and assess-

ment of each candidate’s contribution is possible. Objective criteria that make a clear distinc-

tion possible, such as sections, page numbers or topics, are used to indicate which student

made which contribution. The total workload required of each group member must exceed the

requirements for individual masters’ theses to an appropriate extent. The difficulty and content

of a group thesis must meet the same requirements as for theses undertaken individually and

independently. The contribution made by each individual must meet the requirements for mas-

ters’ theses.

To register to do their master’s thesis, students must have accumulated a minimum of 60 ECTS

credits. They may take no longer than six months to write the thesis. Further, more detailed

information on master’s theses can be found in the Examination Regulations

2 Module content a) Automatic graph drawing Automatic Graph Drawing is a young and active research area in which algorithms are developed that generate aesthetically pleasant drawings of diagrams like, e.g., flow diagrams program evaluation and review diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, pro-

cess chains and UML diagrams or social networks. There are many different methods

that emphasize various criteria such as “few crossings”, “few bends” or “large angles”.

In addition to general methods for directed and undirected graphs, we will cover special

methods for trees, directed acyclic graphs or planar graphs. The discussion of the algo-

rithms will be supplemented by the presentation of software tools and applications in in-

dustry, economy and the natural sciences.

b) Modelling and simulation The course covers a selection of the following topics: - A simulation's life cycle - Basics of stochastic models and methods - Random number generation - System analysis and modeling methods - Simulation paradigms - Verification and validation - Interpreting results and analyzing scenarios - Applications of modeling and simulation - Special aspects of modeling and simulation

2 Module content In the first term, the focus of the course is on (3D) computer graphics and humanma-

chine- communication. It covers aspects of human perception and introduces graphical

output devices and color systems. Based on rasterized 2D graphics, interaction tech-

niques and graphical user interfaces are explained. In the scope of 3D graphics, the

course addresses objects, projections, coverings, lighting and scene graphs. In the second term, the course deals with visualization which can be subdivided into in-

formation visualization and visualization of scientific data. Starting with the visualization pipeline and scientific data types, the filtration and reconstruction of data

is covered. Further, the mapping of data to visual representations is introduced as a

central concept which will also be dealt with using concrete algorithms. The visualiza-

tion of not locally distributed data will be addressed extensively, volume rendering as an

alternative method for the visualization of three-dimensional data and virtual reality will

be covered supplementary. The exercises are designed to train knowledge in computer

graphics, the implementation of graphical user interfaces and 2D/3D programming with

applets and OpenGL.

in a joint process for all advanced seminar courses in one semester. Students are re-

quired to provide preferences for at least two different advanced seminar courses in

KLIPS during the first enrolment period (“1. Belegungsphase”). Registration is usually

not possible during the second enrolment period (“2. Belegungsphase”) or during the

enrolment period for remaining places (“Restplatzvergabe”). Students are then assigned

to a specific advanced seminar, based on the provided preferences and capacities. De-

livery and discussion of presentations, prepared in the form of written papers under

guidance. Students will generally be advised of compulsory reading and the topics for

the presentations towards the end of the preceding term. Which topics are to be as-

signed to which students is decided after they have been advised of the topics availa-

ble, towards the end of the preceding term. To enhance the learning outcome and ex-

pand the creative component, the advanced seminar can also be project-based or in the

style of a case study. In these cases, a specifically defined assignment is given in addi-

tion to the compulsory reading. The written paper and the presentation then report on

2 Module content 100 years of technological progress have tenfold increased the per capita income of

OECD countries. In less than one hour, a worker with average productivity produces

the per capita consumption of one day in 1917. Will labor become obsolete in the fu-

ture? If so, is this a blessing or a curse? Does a competitively organized market eco-

nomy pay increasingly abundant workers worse and worse? What happened and will

happen to labor’s share in national income? While technical progress raised average

wages, the labor earnings distribution became more and more unequal. Is technical

change inherently biased against some types of skills? Is there a race between techno-

logy and education? If so, how to win? Biased technical progress changes the relations-

hip between capital and labor, between work and leisure, between skills, between edu-

cation levels, between agriculture, industry and services, between the market and the

state, between the economy and the environment, between regions and countries. This

course presents empirical facts about technical change, structural change and inequa-

lity. It grants an insight into modern growth theory and uses its tools to explain these

stylized facts and to speculate about the future. It studies causes and consequences of

technical change in particular for the affluent society. Topics include (not necessarily in

this order): • Reminder: Neoclassical Growth • The Rate and the Direction of Technical Change • Automation, Work and Leisure. • Sectorial Change (Deindustrialization, Services, Real Estate, Rise of the State) • Technical Change and Persistent Inequality • Labor and Capital: - When does capital accumulation reduce labor’s share? - When does technical change reduce labor’s share? • Labor and Real Estate: How productivity growth generates abundance and poverty • Skilled Labor, Unskilled Labor and the Skill Premium • Globalization and Institutions • Capital-Skill Complementarity • Biased Technical Change • The Affluent Society and its Economic Problems.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... describe the elementary empirical facts concerning the topics covered in the respec-

tive course. ... understand the economic theory models relating to those topics. ... explain the empirical facts using those models. ... use the models to structure and answer current economic policy questions taking into

account the empirical facts.

2 Module content The course will be composed of two parts. a) The focus of the first part will be on introducing some of the most important theoreti-

cal models of collective choice (basics of social choice, models of voting and electoral

competition, political agency, special interest politics, corruption, conflict). In the second

part of the course the models and tools developed in the first part will be used to dis-

cuss questions surrounding the topics inequality and redistribution.

b) The course deals with micro- and macroeconomic issues of development econom-

ics based on the results of theoretical and empirical research. The macroeconomic part

will deal with work on the topics of growth and development on an aggregated level as

well as growth factors such as institutions, education and technology. In the microeco-

nomic part, the main topics are health, education, risk and insurance, credit and sav-

ings, and political economy.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... a) apply the approach of new political economy and scrutinize the most important

theoretical models of collective choice and social choice. ... formalize and analyze questions of redistribution and inequality within these models. ... discuss and evaluate the outcomes of different institutional setting with the tools of

collective choice. ... b) ...understand the basic questions and analytical methods in the field of develop-

ment, poverty and inequality. ...discuss and evaluate empirical results and various methods of microeconometric pro-

gram evaluation. ...communicate and apply the appropriate methods for the economic analysis of de-ve-

lopment issues.
