Abstract
The paper presents guidelines for education in business and information systems engineering (BISE) at tertiary institutions, which were designed by a working group comprising domain experts, both from academia and practice. The guidelines contain the learning outcomes in Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs, in particular, the key subject-specific, social, and personal skills needed by BISE graduates. Moreover, corresponding occupational profiles, the specific skills required, as well as the essential and typical learning content for BISE education are described. Furthermore, detailed recommendations for the design of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees curricula and sub-curricula in BISE, business administration, and computer science, respectively, are provided. The presented guidelines serve several purposes. Providing common directions for BISE education is aiming to support personnel in charge of curriculum development and to assist students in program and career choice.

Summary
The academic discipline of business and information systems engineering (BISE) (Wirtschaftsinformatik) combines knowledge areas of economics, especially business administration, and computer science. Specialized Master’s degrees in economics have been established in recent years, such as business innovation programs These are technology-oriented and include BISE components as well. A minimal version, as often found in economics programs, conveys BISE in the form of one or more compulsory and/or elective courses In this recommendation, the essential learning content for BISE education and its relations to neighboring disciplines – especially to business administration and computer science – are described. The educational objectives in Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs are presented, as well as the targeted subjectspecific, social, and personal skills (Chapter 3). Sample occupational profiles for BISE graduates are outlined These can provide guidance for curriculum development, assisting students in program and career choice (Chapter 4). The organizational and structural requirements for BISE courses are described, differentiated for universities and universities of applied sciences (Chapter 8)
