The programme material describes it as an E-Commerce programme, giving students knowledge and skills for running commercial activity online and using social media in ways that match the expectations of businesses operating in the digital economy. E-commerce is presented as a growing area of business activity, valuable both as a source of revenue for online-only businesses and as an additional distribution channel for companies that also sell through traditional means. Students also learn the conditions, methods, and principles for conducting business on domestic and international markets. Teaching takes a practical approach, so that students become familiar with what employers expect from graduates at this stage of their education, and students finishing the programme are equipped to apply what they have learned directly in practice.

As a discipline, business informatics combines information systems knowledge with business administration, and graduates commonly move into roles in digital commerce, IT-enabled business analysis, and enterprise systems management across a range of industries.
