The Information Management and Information Technology (IMIT) degree program, which is only available at the University of Hildesheim, places a stronger focus on information management in addition to IT and includes information science. It provides a high level of freedom of choice in the design of the program and the curriculum.
Applied computer science M.Sc.

The degree program in “Data Analytics” is interdisciplinary and combines methodological core modules in applied computer science and mathematics with application modules from various fields. It aims to train data analysts across various application areas who have in-depth methodological and algorithmic knowledge of the current state of research in order not only to use existing methods, but also to develop new models and methods that are suitable for capturing the special features of the modeled systems. The course is taught entirely in English.
Business informatics M.Sc.

In Business Informatics, the focus is explicitly on topics related to business informatics “in the stricter sense”, in particular the architecture and development of information systems in companies. Applications such as e-commerce, business intelligence and data management play a key role here.
Environment, nature conservation and sustainability (UNN) M.Sc.

The Environmental, Nature Conservation and Sustainability Master's degree (M.Sc.) builds on the Environmental Protection Bachelor's degree (B.Sc.) and pursues further qualification in two ways - on the one hand, it provides qualifications for a career at a high academic level and, on the other, it offers the prerequisite for admission to doctoral studies. In the Master's degree course in Environment, Nature Conservation and Sustainability (M.Sc.), you choose one of three specializations. The specialization “Man and Environment in Historical Perspective” is more research-oriented, while the specializations “Applied Nature Conservation” and “Sustainability Education” are more application-oriented.
Software Engineering M.Sc.

As software becomes increasingly important in all areas of our society, the demand for well-trained software engineers continues to grow. The Software Engineering M.Sc. program provides comprehensive training for software engineers as an extension of a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a closely related field. The program's goal is to deliver in-depth knowledge of software engineering, reflecting the latest research developments, enabling students not only to apply these skills in practice, but also to further develop them independently and conduct research in this field.
The program comprises a core curriculum that covers the central areas of software engineering. In addition, methodological specialization modules offer deeper insights into specific areas of the field and can be selected based on individual interests. This is further complemented by a wide range of application-oriented modules that emphasize practical relevance.
