Key Summary
IT Development - Data Science - Digital Transformation
Informatics is a key driver of innovation that is fuelling advances in many aspects of working and everyday life. Computers make it possible to model and predict economic, ecological and social developments; bioinformatics supports the development of new drugs; and thanks to machine learning, large volumes of data become clear and readable, while pattern recognition turns it into a valuable resource with a variety of potential applications. Informatics opens up new options for creating economic added value, protecting the environment and saving lives.
IMC Krems’ Informatics bachelor degree programme is aimed at people who are interested in technology-related subjects and want to play a creative part in shaping aspects of the way we will live and work in the future. The programme includes a specialisation in data science, as well as electives with a strong practical focus: Business Process & Enterprise Technologies, and Bioinformatics.
