HSG Winfo

About Us

We, the HSG Winfo Passau, are an association of students studying Business Information Systems (Winfo), Digital Transformation in Business and Society (DTBS), Business Administration and Economics, as well as anyone interested in business information systems.

Our goal is to connect students studying business informatics across different semesters, as well as graduates of the above-mentioned degree programs.

In doing so, we aim to create opportunities for new connections, personal and professional exchanges, and networking across degree programs, semesters, and generations.

Current Notice

The HSG Winfo Passau is currently on hiatus.
However, the HSG Winfo events—in particular the alumni get-together and the SitSit —will continue to take place.

Graduates' Get-Together

The graduates' get-together continues to take place regularly and brings together students, doctoral candidates, alumni, and other interested individuals.

When: Every 3rd Thursday of the month starting at 7:00 p.m.

In even-numbered months (e.g., February, April, June):
Where: Spontan, Deggendorf
Amanstraße 14 · 94469 Deggendorf

In odd-numbered months (e.g., January, March, May):

Everyone is invited—whether you’re a student, doctoral candidate, alumnus, or simply someone interested in business informatics.
The focus is on a relaxed and informal get-together: meeting new people, reconnecting with old acquaintances, sharing experiences, and discussing studies, research, careers, and everything in between.

Sitzparty / SitSit

What is a SitSit?

A SitSit is a traditional Finnish academic dinner party. Participants sit together at long tables, enjoy food and drinks, sing songs and take part in various games and activities throughout the evening.

What makes a SitSit special is the combination of food, singing, student traditions and social interaction. The evening is usually guided by toastmasters or songmasters who lead everyone through the programme.

Our SitSit brings this Finnish tradition to Passau and combines it with the unique atmosphere of university life. It is a great opportunity to meet people from different study programmes and backgrounds and enjoy an evening together.

A special connection between Passau and Turku

Our SitSit is closely connected to the DEMA Double Master's programme and the special relationship between Passau and Turku.

Since 2023, this friendship has been celebrated through a SitSit once every semester. Each event has its own theme and combines Finnish traditions with the student culture of Passau.

Past themes have included:

  • Football World Cup – June 13, 2026
  • When I Grow Up – November 22, 2025
  • Tropical – May 24, 2025

The next SitSit will be announced through our social media channels.

Dear companies,

We are delighted that you are interested in the Business Informatics Student Group at the University of Passau.

As a student group, we not only focus on networking students from all degree programs related to business informatics, but also aim to create an interface for companies and graduates. For this reason, we are in constant communication and close cooperation with the chairs of the Department of Business Informatics, various career offices at the University of Passau, and are already working successfully with various companies.

We are always happy to receive support and establish new partnerships. We are particularly interested in

  • job postings for graduates, working students, and internships,
  • keynote speeches on topics related to business informatics,
  • excursions,
  • and fireside chats.

In return, you will receive direct access to highly qualified specialists who are particularly distinguished by their interdisciplinary approach and their skills that extend beyond the field of business informatics. In addition, cooperation with our university group will strengthen your presence at the University of Passau. We will forward the agreed content of a cooperation to all business informatics students via our social media channels and the internal mailing list for the degree program.

If you are interested in working with us, please feel free to contact us at hsg-winfo@uni-passau.de.

We look forward to working with you!

Yours sincerely, HSG Winfo Passau
