• Business informatics specialists use the potential of modern information and communication technology to design business processes. They analyze processes, weigh up the opportunities and risks of digitalization and are indispensable today as developers of cross-divisional solutions.
• Technical computer scientists and IT engineers are always in demand when it is a matter of equipping systems with their own "intelligence" - commonly known by the buzzwords Internet of Things or Industry 4.0. They can choose from a wide range of fields of application and are highly demanded specialists across all sectors - especially in industry.
• Experts in applied computer science are specialists in all phases of software design - from conception to quality assurance. They work on projects as application developers as well as in a management role. In addition, they may specialize in software and web engineering or software architecture.
• Business informatics specialists and IT managers can adjust the IT of the company with modern methods to the constantly growing requirements and control software developments. After a part-time course of study at the NORDAKADEMIE, they possess comprehensive skills and are able to handle management responsibility in the IT environment.
• Applied Data Scientists possess great mathematical-statistical knowledge and IT know-how and combine it with targeted management in the company. They can analyze data in a well-founded manner, process it in an application-oriented manner and offer strategic solutions. The intermediaries between business unit and analysis experts are rare and in demand worldwide.

In cooperation with companies and other universities, and with the partial involvement of students, the team at NORDAKADEMIE works on various key research areas. Our projects include

CrossLab

Since August 1, 2021, NORDAKADEMIE has been working together with three partner universities on the joint research project „CrossLab – Flexibel kombinierbare Cross-Reality Labore in der Hochschullehre: zukunftsfähige Kompetenzentwicklung für ein Lernen und Arbeiten 4.0“.

Data Science Process Model (DASC-PM)

Even today, there is still a lack of clarity about how Data Science is to be distinguished from other disciplines, which special features projects display, and which competencies are needed. NORDAKADEMIE has therefore developed the Data Science Process Model (DASC-PM) as part of an interdisciplinary virtual working group.

E-Learning

As an interdisciplinary research focus, e-learning runs through the various departments at NORDAKADEMIE. In 2016, a research group was therefore founded that considers e-learning, among other things, as a method for the didactic processing of learning content.

User Experience Design

Today, information technology design has reached a level of maturity where not only pragmatic product quality, but also user experience and overall impact determine market success. In this research focus, we are concerned with "user experience" (UX), which describes a user's overall experience with a product.
