The Competence Field for Master Program in Information Systems

According to the structure of the Master Program in Information Systems at the WU, students striving for the master degree are demanded, among other requirements, to pass two IT-Specialization programs. One of these IT-Specialization programs may be replaced by a successful participation of two competence areas.
