The students learn an overview and advantages of business software systems, especially ERP systems, and where these systems are used in business. A classification of Business Information Systems is given. After that, the role of Business Process Management and its relation to Business Information Systems are discussed. The lecture is completed by selected contemporary issues, e.g. Governance-Risk-Compliance (GRC), Cloud Computing, Mobile Computing, etc.
SEMINAR WEB TECHNOLOGIES (5 ECTS)

They will also support you in case of comprehension problems with the contents of the lecture. If you are interested in this offer, please ask us for the current list of available courses.
On the Master’s level, we offer a German language course, 3 courses in specialized areas of Computer Science and one project in an area of expertise of one of our faculty members.
Taught courses are each four hours per week. Projects and seminars require a higher independent work and have less contact hours.
GERMAN LANGUAGE (6 ECTS)
Introductory course into the German Language.
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (6 ECTS)

Trier has a population of more than 100,000, and is famous as the oldest city in Germany, founded around 16 AD. In 1984, it celebrated its 2000th anniversary. It was home to six Roman emperors and has preserved several monuments of this time including the impressive Porta Nigra, a four-story structure that was once part of the city's walls. “Roma Secunda”, the second Rome, was another name for Trier, and nowhere else in Germany are Roman times so vividly recalled.
Located on the banks of the Mosel River, Trier lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the German border with Luxembourg; in fact, the closest city to Trier is the capital of Luxembourg, some 50 km to the southwest. Its location is ideal for a student interested in seeing a lot of Europe, as it is less than a 30 minute drive from France and Belgium.
Trier is also the birthplace of Karl Marx and a university town, housing Trier University of Applied Sciences and Trier University, about 20,000 of its inhabitants are students. There is a large offer of cultural, geographical and leisure activities.
The Studierendenwerk Trier (studiwerk) offers well-equipped student residences. Features: near campus, clean and furnished, heating and ancillary costs included, laundry rooms, free parking spaces. They are great places for connecting to other international or german students.
