The Department of Information Systems
The Department of Information Systems at the WWU Münster is one of the biggest and most prestigious
Information Systems departments in Germany, and periodic national rankings attest to its excellent
reputation. The field of Information Systems covers the design, introduction and evaluation of intra- and inter-organisational information systems and – as an interdisciplinary, application-oriented subject – connects the research and teaching of Business Administration and Economics with that of
Computer Science. The aim of the Department is to offer an research-led education linking business and IT with an international focus. This is true both with regard to the broad scope of the foundational teaching content and the specific domains, which range from public administration and commerce to telecommunications.
The Department is the head office of the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS), an international network of research institutions,
active personal members and corporate advisory board members working in the field of Information Systems. The member work on a broad range of research topics. The different perspectives on current and emerging themes allow the unique and country-spanning multi-disciplinarity. Competence centers provide the platform for collaborative research on core focus areas.
