The most common entrance exams are:
- Russian language
- Mathematics ( a basic level of)
- Social studies - a profile subject, at the choice of the university
- Foreign language - at the choice of the university
Mathematics is a compulsory subject for admission. In this subject, entrance exams are held or the results of the exam are counted. In addition, the university offers three subjects for conducting entrance examinations, of which the applicant can choose two that are closest to him. Most often, the choice is made among Russian and in English, social studies. Some universities can independently choose two additional subjects.
Business informatics is one of the youngest specialties that today's students are mastering. However, despite its recent emergence, the specialty is characterized by excellent opportunities and prospects, both in terms of training and further education. professional activity and highly paid positions. This is definitely a new profession that has become necessary in those areas where knowledge of the basics of management, economics and information and communication technologies (ICT) is required at the same time. Specialists who have received a diploma in this area are required in all areas of business.
Brief description of the specialty
Specialists who graduated from a higher educational institution with a bachelor's degree in business informatics can work as employees of a company as part of one of the groups involved in its development, and can also act as managers of various services and systems. This specialist, who has mastered economic knowledge, as well as in the field of law, management and ICT. He manages issues affecting the design, implementation, analysis and maintenance of CIS.
The specialty includes several areas of training. As a rule, the following profiles are distinguished, which can be found in most universities that train bachelors of business informatics:
- technological entrepreneurship;
- Enterprise architecture;
- Content management;
- Electronic business.
Major universities in Moscow
- Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
- Moscow University. S.Yu. Witte
- National Research Technological University "MISiS"
- Odintsovo Humanitarian University
- Eurasian Open Institute
- Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy
Terms and forms of training
The specialty involves several forms of education. The most common Full-time education offered by most universities. The duration of mastering the specialty in this case is 4 years. When choosing part-time, part-time forms of education or part-time days off, the duration of study increases to 5 years.
Some educational establishments accept applicants who have completed their studies on the basis of colleges and technical schools in this profile. In this case, full-time training lasts 3 years, and in other cases - 3.5 years.
Subjects studied by students
In the first years, most of the subjects studied by students belong to the category of natural science disciplines, and also provide basic training in the field information technologies:
- information systems (IS) design,
- architecture,
- Informatics,
- OS,
- Database,
- programming,
- applied informatics in economics and others.
In the early years, great importance is also given to the disciplines of the general mathematical, economic and humanitarian areas:
- mathematical Logic,
- linear algebra,
- economic theory,
- Discrete Math,
- mathematical analysis,
- network economy,
- financial Accounting,
- Probability theory,
- sociology,
- psychology and others.
In the last two years of study, the course includes special disciplines that are closest to the specialty and allow you to gain the knowledge that is necessary for specialists in this field of study. These disciplines include the following:
- logistics,
- Information Security,
- personnel Management,
- econometrics,
- architecture of corporate IS (CIS),
- legal informatics and others.
Training: acquired knowledge and skills
In the first years of study, students receive mainly theoretical knowledge and skills. This is an acquaintance with the methods necessary to prepare an organization (enterprise) for automation, related to the design, implementation of IS, the operation of the ICT service, as well as the management, development and use of IS. Next comes practical work, which is expressed in training sessions aimed at teaching students to work with a variety of tools and systems (MS Project, MathCad, Delphi, and others), i.e. do what was originally studied in theory.
Future profession: who to work?
Today, the labor market is in great need of business informatics specialists. About ten thousand jobs in our country annually wait for university graduates to provide them with profitable positions, and every year there is an acute shortage of such specialists. In addition, bachelors can try to find work in foreign countries where specialists of this profile are also needed. First of all, we are talking about the countries participating in the Bologna Declaration, but not only.
Jobs can be found in all areas related to ICT. These are any enterprises of the state and private level, NGOs, JSCs and CJSCs, scientific design and design organizations, bodies dealing with social work and any other enterprises that require specialists who own the acquired knowledge.
A bachelor in business informatics can hold positions such as programmer, department specialist, supervised by the IT department.
Continuing education in the specialty
Many higher education institutions offer graduates who have completed their undergraduate studies in business informatics to continue their studies in the master's program.
Business informatics: prospects for the development of this area
Hello, dear readers of the Anatomy of Business project! With you, as always, webmaster Alexander!
We live in a truly amazing time. New technologies are developing every day faster and faster. Another 15 years ago Cell phones were a luxury and something obscure, and now they replace entire libraries and communication centers, without them it is impossible to imagine a full life, pay bills, quickly contact friends and relatives. And this is just one example, and there are millions of them. What is the Internet worth, because its invention and implementation marked new era in the development of all mankind. Information technology dictates reality modern world. A few years ago, good lawyers, economists, managers, sales agents were in demand on the labor market. Now IT-specialists have taken the palm, system administrators, web builders and designers, yes, by the way, all those who are associated with the field of Internet technologies.
The education sector is also undergoing transformations, trying to meet the needs of the market and the interests of the younger generation. In institutes there are areas of study that were previously unknown. One of these areas is business informatics. According to Yandex Wordstat statistics, more than 10,000 users per month query “business informatics”
Demanded specialties and prestigious job always arouse some interest in modern society. So, in particular, more and more Internet users are wondering what business informatics is, what kind of profession it is, who they work after training, and so on. If you pay attention to the definition, then business informatics is a field directly related to information and communication systems of modern economic activity. In fact, this science is engaged in the development of such systems, their design and implementation in various areas. Also, business informatics is directly related to conceptual management, to the sciences of economics and computer science.
The modern interest in business informatics is also explained by the fact that this specialty is relatively new and has only recently appeared in the field. higher education. Most universities opened this specialty only five years ago, almost immediately after the adoption of the relevant state standard in this area of student education. Currently, it is quite realistic and affordable for most people to study at the Department of Business Information Systems for Production Management.
Many people know the expression "Demand creates supply." This statement is true in this case as well. Business informatics arose due to the urgent need for relevant specialists, namely those employees who could analyze information systems at a sufficient professional level, work with information and communication technologies, develop such systems, thereby increasing business productivity, its efficiency and level.
Society has long since confidently stepped over from the field of industrial development towards information technologies, which have penetrated into many key areas of human activity in society. As a result, there was an urgent need for specialists who, in addition to traditional disciplines such as economics, law, management, marketing, and so on, could understand the field of information technology development.
More about business informatics
So, business informatics, what kind of profession is this? It can be said that given area Science combines several areas at once. Here are some of them:
However, do not forget that business informatics is completely new in the educational structure. educational process. The central place in it, in addition to traditional disciplines, is entirely occupied by learning to achieve the set goals thanks to modern computer technology which are in demand in almost all business sectors today.
Business informatics professionals, in fact, must have an excellent understanding of the latest tools available on the Internet. modern market software while understanding well economic sphere activities, to understand the field of finance of various enterprises and in marketing as such.
More about business informatics
First of all, it is worth noting that business informatics specialists must not only remain competent in their business, but also work professionally in the following main areas of activity:
Trained specialists will be able to perform the functions of analysts of a wide range of information systems, they must be able to work as IT consultants (here we mean the organization innovative approaches business in the field of information technology), such employees will also be able to draw up projects of information systems of varying degrees of complexity, implement them in office work, perform the functions organizational management CIS (corporate information systems), management management.
Now it becomes clear why the demand in the labor sphere is growing for those masters of their craft who have mastered the profession of business informatics. It is not worth the question of who to work in the future, since the received diploma opens up very wide employment opportunities. On currently it is serious competition for less sought-after specialists in the humanities, for whom demand is steadily and steadily declining.
If we talk about the principles of work, then it is worth noting that the business informatics works quite thoroughly with the so-called professionally oriented environment (a shell consisting of certain program elements And information support). It all starts with the creation of a project and ends with the features of introducing this shell into a business. In addition to the above, a professionally oriented environment developed by a business computer scientist includes organizational means directed to the improvement of work functions and processes of economic activity.
Areas of use
What is the profession of business informatics, now it becomes clear. Next, let's talk a little more specifically about the jobs themselves. Simply put, specialists of the above specialty will find application everywhere:
As you can see, specialists in the field of business informatics are in demand in the modern labor market. Therefore, this area of study remains quite promising and interesting.
Business informatics is a completely new specialty for today's students. Therefore, quite a few, having heard the word "business", immediately run to enter there. But don't do it Let's talk about what the Faculty of Business Informatics is. We will also find out what is the use of it.
Innovations
Business informatics is a specialty that has taken one of the leading places in Lately among applicants. Of course, because in its description you can see that a person who has studied in this direction will be able to do quite a lot. As for work, this is not discussed at all - of course, such specialists will be very much appreciated, especially in IT technologies. Business informatics has been taught at the HSE for several years. We can say that these are the "pioneers" of this direction.
Having singled out "business informatics" among all areas, the student, of course, will "be led" by a tempting name and apply for admission to it. This is where the huge competition comes in. But is everything as good as it seems? And is business informatics really in demand - a specialty that is still not really known to any of the students?
Difficulties of choice
The Faculty of Business Informatics, as has been repeatedly said, is a fairly new direction. Of course, many students (and parents) want to know what they study in the course of such training. This is where the first problems that the student faces begin.
The first thing that can shock you is the items required for admission. As a rule, business informatics, a new and unexplored specialty, requires the guys to pass the Russian language, mathematics and .... social science. A tempting offer, especially for those who were going to act as a regular economist. Most applicants change their minds towards innovation. But over time, questions begin: "Business informatics, who to work with such an education?" First, let's see what the specialists who are trained in this area are studying.
Math or...
As soon as a student comes to the very first lectures on business informatics, he, as a rule, falls into the category. The thing is that this direction is treated more like an economic education. In reality, things are somewhat different.
From the first lectures, the guys are waiting for a lot of purely mathematical disciplines already in the first year. Here and mathematical analysis, and discrete mathematics, and computer science, and history computer science. A person who is not ready for the fact that business informatics is an unexplored specialty may simply wonder where so much mathematics comes from. But it doesn't end there.
Further, in the same first year, students begin to be taught a lot of information subjects, and they are also taught programming. This also includes the fact that foreign languages (especially English) will begin to be taught under the guise of "business colloquial". In fact, students will be forced all the time to translate texts, retell them and have conversations with the teacher on the topic: "What do I want to work with." From the school level "not far" left. Here, of course, business informatics is important. Business informatics takes a lot of time from students in terms of the number of lectures held per day, which leaves almost no time for rest. Therefore, during classes, the student must work independently (this happens in most cases) in order to understand what is "going on" around him.
A separate place is reserved for computer science and programming. Here the entire history of the development of these disciplines is studied, after which various databases appear, tasks for compiling and using programs, and so on. But, unfortunately, programming is not taught at the proper level. A good study of this area requires at least 4 years of full-fledged work. Business informatics is a direction that overwhelms students with various subjects. And what about the economics and humanities that were so promised? Let's see what else the guys will have to study.
A little humanitarian
Having entered the specialty, which we are now engaged in, the student firmly believes that he will receive a prestigious elite education, and economic sciences will be studied. From the first year, some disappointment awaits those who have chosen the Faculty of Business Informatics. Whom to work, if they teach only mathematical disciplines, is a question of questions. After a while, learning begins to "slide" towards the economy.
Here comes financial mathematics, life safety, psychology, economic theory, 1C-enterprise and so on. Mathematics, after studying differential directions and general theory systems with probability theory, is slowly fading into the background. Students will also be given the opportunity to study management and marketing. Gradually, business informatics begins to push computer science aside. Approximately by the 3rd year, she will completely leave the exhausted students.
So, having not really studied mathematics and information technology, the guys jump to the economy. Here is such an incomprehensible business informatics specialty. "Where will you work after graduation?" - a teacher in any economic specialty can ask a question to freshmen and sophomores. And the students just shrug. Indeed, what to do after receiving a diploma?
I would be a mathematician, but...
Naturally, a mathematician! How did this not immediately come to mind. To unlearn for 5 years in a new direction, which, according to the administration, prepares the elite, so that later they can work at school as a mathematics teacher? Well, it's an option. True, it's too expensive. Education per year in this direction varies from 100 to 200 thousand rubles, depending on geographical location. So, if you want to work as a math teacher, go for something more "narrow".
In addition, the proper level of mathematical knowledge is not supported here. Full-fledged mathematics, namely mathematical analysis and differential equations only taught for one year. The rest of the mathematical disciplines pass through the minds of students one semester, which does not give proper knowledge. Although you can hear a lot of feedback and talk about the fact that business informatics is also elite. This opinion is usually expressed by parents and those who themselves have not yet studied in this direction.
I would like to be a programmer...
Okay, math is on the back burner. What else do they teach? Computer science and programming! Exactly! If you don’t know what to work with, you can go into the field of IT technologies, as rectors promise many students. As soon as students light up with such an idea, their dreams immediately collapse - just two years of studying programming and one year of computer science. Oh, how much knowledge they will give!
In order to become a full-fledged programmer, you need to study the subject for at least 4 years, daily and constantly. The same can be said about computer science. Nevertheless, universities "advertise" business informatics as a specialty, after which graduates will be able to work wherever they want. In practice, things are different. Promises and ideas about the elitism of this specialty are shattered to smithereens. Those who have already studied for some time quite often refer to business informatics as "underspecialty". But why? After all, since mathematics and programming "did not grow together", there is also the economy!
"Undereconomist"
And yet, what will be the future work? Business informatics includes quite a few economic disciplines after studying mathematical ones. But here things are even worse. The thing is that the economy also needs to be "tightly" dealt with in order to achieve a good result. And in this area they teach "just a little bit." A piece is torn off from mathematics, another part - from programming, the rest - from economics.
And chaos begins to reign in my head. A little knowledge of personnel management, psychology, mathematics, programming, economics, marketing, and so on... What happens? It turns out that not a single subject is fully taught. In the labor market, there is already much more narrow specialists who have far from such superficial knowledge that they give in business informatics. It turns out that the promised salaries from 35,000 rubles are just a fairy tale for the ignorant. Naturally, there is a chance that you will work, as you are promised, in the field of introducing IT technologies in business, but this can only be done "acquaintance" and "not in your specialty." What remains for business informatics? Who to work after graduation?
hard life
As already mentioned, the graduate expects huge competition in the labor market, and not that they promise so. A person who graduated from the faculty of business informatics will have a really hard time. But what to do?
All that remains are popular areas of work. For example, a manager or sales assistant. This is where students and graduates of business informatics usually work. They will not be able to apply for "elite" places, since the big name of the direction implies that the guys take "a little bit from everywhere." Not the best option. Also, students can work as operators in call centers and various office workers. So, in the end, the guys are in for a huge disappointment, especially if they study on a paid basis.
There is a replacement
What to do for those who want to work in their specialty and miss a little bit from everywhere? There is such a direction as information management. This, in fact, is the same business informatics, only it sounds less "prestigious", and economic disciplines are studied there more and more persistently.
So, having enrolled in information management, a student becomes a full-fledged economist who is able to compete in the labor market. Yes, the likelihood that he will start earning 50 thousand a month and do nothing at the same time is practically reduced to zero. Nevertheless, the graduate will be guaranteed to receive his 25,000 rubles for work in his specialty. For those who have studied business informatics, sometimes they even practice as cashiers, sales managers and consultants. It turns out that business informatics is a rather deceptive specialty, remade from another one in order to "pull money" out of students and their parents. However, there are many such examples.

Such a direction in the curriculum of universities as business informatics is relatively new. For admission to this direction, in fact, the same subjects are required that are also taken in the case when an applicant submits documents to the Faculty of Economics.
This includes the Russian language, mathematics and social studies. So after all, what is meant by business informatics?
Business informatics, what kind of profession is it and who to work with
If to speak plain language, then business informatics includes several disciplines at once - computer science, economics and management. During the training, the student acquires knowledge in economics, mathematics, statistics, information management and computer science, as well as practical skills in programming and design.
Whom to work
After graduating from a university, a very complex issue relating to employment. And this is indeed a serious problem in many cases. Despite good advertising about training in the direction of "business informatics" and the wide opportunities that will open up after graduation, in fact it turns out that a person knows everything and nothing. How is this possible? Very simple.
How much to study
In the first year, the student takes mathematics, which is supplemented by the study foreign languages, in particular English. Along with mathematical disciplines, by the third year, the student masters macro and microeconomics, accounting, network advertising, economic theory, management, marketing and more.
In total, only 2 years are allotted for studying programming in business informatics, and even less for computer science - a year. Thus, the graduate turns out to be an under-economist, and it will also be difficult to call him a programmer, since this requires studying programming for at least 4 years.
As a result, it turns out that a person who graduates from a department in this area receives a little knowledge in the field of personnel management, marketing, economics, and so on.
Therefore, if you have such a diploma, it will be quite difficult to get a job in narrow areas in the field of IT technologies or in narrower specialties. Just like becoming a full-fledged business analyst, which is promised while studying at a university, will not work either.
But even with such a disparate list of knowledge, if you can’t get a job in your specialty, as an alternative, you can try yourself in creating own business connected to the Internet. For example, to develop and create websites and blogs with subsequent sale, and so on.
Results
Thus, when the question “business informatics, what kind of profession and who to work with” arises, as you can see, although it sounds good, it’s actually not the best option for investing money in your own education.
Since most often this direction in universities is paid. Even if you invest in education, it is better to do it in an alternative option - information management.
Upon graduation, the graduate becomes a full-fledged analyst in the economic and information sphere. In any case, the choice of where to enter and the diploma in which specialty to receive remains solely with the applicant.
