Erfolgskonzept: Theorie + Praxis

Das Studium umfasst 3 Säulen:

1
1. Die Grundlagen
In den Semestern 1-4
In den ersten Semestern legen wir den Fokus auf die Grundlagen der angewandten Informatik. Dabei werden mit der theoretischen Informatik zentrale Problemstellungen der Informationsverarbeitung sowie statistische Methoden und Verfahren behandelt. Darauf aufbauend werden im Bereich der praktischen und technischen Informatik projektbezogen umsetzbare Lösungen entwickelt.
Einen Schwerpunkt legen wir auf dem Bereich des Software Engineering. Mit Werkzeugen und Methoden der Programmierung werden qualitätsvolle Software-Systeme entwickelt.
Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet der Bereich der Data Science. Es wird ein Grundverständnis dafür geschaffen, wie Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen verfügbar gemacht und diese Daten analysiert werden können, um Schlussfolgerungen für konkrete Fragestellungen zu ziehen. Wir widmen uns branchenübergreifenden Modellen und Systemen der anwendungsbezogenen Generierung von Wissen aus Daten. Mit geeigneten Methoden der Visualisierung liefern wir Erkenntnisse für Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft.
Grundlegend werden in allen Anwendungsbereichen des Studiums Voraussetzungen des IT Rechts und der IT Security berücksichtigt. Weiters reflektierten und diskutieren wir kritisch die Auswirkungen der Datengenerierung, Datennutzung und der damit verbundenen Technologien für die Gesellschaft und das Individuum unter ethischen Gesichtspunkten.
Praxis von Anfang an: Projektarbeiten sind ein wichtiger Teil des Studiums. Schon im ersten Semester geht es los mit einem Web-Projekt. In Semester 2 und 3 widmen Sie sich einem Software-Projekt und in Semester 4 dem Data Science Capstone Projekt.
2
2. Der praktische Teil
Im 5. Semester
Das fünfte Semester steht ganz im Zeichen Ihres Praktikums. Es ist ein verpflichtender Teil des Studiums und dauert 22 Wochen. Sie haben die Wahl, wo sie es absolvieren: in einem Unternehmen, einer Organisation, einer Bildungs- oder Forschungsinstitution. Im Inland oder Ausland? Auch das liegt bei Ihnen. Mehr als die Hälfte unserer Studierenden nützt das Praktikum, um Erfahrungen in einem anderen Land zu sammeln. Das Praxissemester ist eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, um internationale Luft zu schnuppern, neue Methoden kennenzulernen und anderen Expertinnen und Experten über die Schulter zu schauen.
Das Team des IMC Career Centers und Ihre Lehrenden aus dem Studium helfen bei der Suche nach einem geeigneten Praktikumsplatz. Damit Sie dann während Ihres „Practical Training Semesters“ eines können: viel mitnehmen für Ihre berufliche Laufbahn.
3
3. Die Spezialisierung
Im 6. Semester
Zurück vom Praktikum, entscheiden Sie sich für eines der zwei Vertiefungsgebiete: Business Process and Enterprise Technologies oder Bioinformatics. So bieten wir Ihnen die Möglichkeit die Kerntätigkeitsfelder Software Development, Business Consulting und Data Science branchennahe zu vertiefen.
In der Spezialisierung Business Process and Enterprise Technologies arbeiten Sie an der Anpassung und Erweiterung von ERP Systemen (ERP = Enterprise Resources Planning) für Betriebe bzw. Organisationen. Hierbei wenden Sie bereits erlernte Methoden der Softwareentwicklung und grundlegende Schnittstellentechnologien zur Integration von Geschäftsanwendungen in ERP-Systemen an. Sie beschäftigen sich weiters mit der Transformation und Speicherung von Unternehmensdaten und Technologien des Data Warehousing. Die Implementierung wesentlicher Arbeitsschritte findet in einem praktischen ERP-Consulting Projekt statt.
In der Spezialisierung Bioinformatics beschäftigen Sie sich mit Methoden der Datenanalyse im Kontext der Bioinformatik. Sie erstellen und transformieren Rohdatensätze und analysieren und interpretieren diese mithilfe von Data-Science-Methoden. Weiters setzen Sie sich mit grundlegenden Konzepten des Visual Computing auseinander und wenden erlernte Data-Science-Techniken an, um biologische und medizinische Bilddaten zu analysieren. Die Implementierung wesentlicher Arbeitsschritte findet in einem praktischen Bioinformatik Projekt statt.
