Bachelor in Business Information Systems Engineering (BSc)

About the course

A seven-semester, fully English-taught BSc combining computer science (programming, databases, algorithms and data structures, machine learning, enterprise systems, IT security) with business foundations such as accounting. The fifth semester is spent at a partner university abroad together with an internship abroad, and the course ends with a capstone project and thesis.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Frankfurt School asks for a recognised secondary school diploma and publishes no Irish-specific rule. Under German (KMK/anabin) rules the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with six subjects, at least two at Higher Level H5 or better, the rest at H6/O6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better; for business and economics you also need Higher Level Maths at H5, and for a computing/engineering-type course a Higher Level science at H5 may also be expected. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with Frankfurt School admissions how they assess your Leaving Cert.
• Admission is through an online Assessment Centre: a maths test, a cognitive test, an English test and an interview. You can apply with your two most recent upper secondary school reports plus a CV and passport (motivation letter optional); final Leaving Cert results follow later. No numerus clausus applies.
• English: the English test in the Assessment Centre is the English check, so no separate certificate is needed at application. Fluent German is only required if you want to study with a partner company (Deutsche Bank, KfW, flatexDEGIRO).

Costs

• EUR 8,600 per semester (about EUR 17,200 a year) for the September 2027 intake, plus a EUR 100 application fee and a EUR 600 enrolment fee. Frankfurt School is a private university, so Germany’s tuition-free rule for public universities does not apply. The 2026/27 cost-of-attendance sheet gave EUR 16,400 a year for the previous intake. Financing options include a Diversity Scholarship (15%, 25% or 50% tuition reduction), Merit Foundation scholarships, the KfW student loan and an income-share (Brain Capital) option.
