neutral  Lancashireman: The google references to ‘Business Informatics’ seem to lead to sites in Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands etc. Guide us through this maze please, Silfilla.

agree  Deborah Shannon: and with Andrew's comment - this form is more prevalent in translations, probably because it's the translation from the DAAD dictionary, source given as "British course in 1997 UCAS handbook". Fashions change, in 2005 www.ucas.com only lists "IT" courses

Business Computing


Explanation:
The answers you already have are perfectly good, but just for the sake of completeness, a UCAS search produces a whole diversity of names for this subject in English, including

Business Computer Science
Business Computing and IT
Business Information Technology (Computing)

and other combinations like Business Studies with Computing (slightly different emphasis, I imagine)
