Every year, the WirtschaftsWoche magazine asks more than 500 HR managers from large companies and small businesses which universities they think offer the best training for professional life. The resulting ranking provides information about which graduates are popular with companies.

The survey focuses on the practical relevance of the education. The ranking concentrates on the business-related subjects of business administration, economics, law, computer science, electrical engineering, natural sciences, mechanical engineering, business informatics, and industrial engineering.

Business Information Systems at the TU Darmstadt: consistently on top

The Business Information Systems degree programme at the TU Darmstadt has repeatedly achieved top ranking positions in recent years. This was also the case in the current university ranking of the WirtschaftsWoche, where it achieved second place with 18.8% of the votes.

Hence, the TU Darmstadt once again demonstrates its pioneering role in the field of Business Information Systems: in 1979, it was the first university in Germany to introduce Business Information Systems as a degree programme.
