Flexible studies
The University of Bamberg offers a lot of fields of studies. I started in my masters with economics, but then switched to information systems because of new interests. The facilities of the IS study are relatively new. A lot of different fields in IS and IT can be studied, reaching from AI to ML and deep programming.
