What changed in the latest version

Before

BAMF already offered dual study programmes in Administrative Informatics. These were with the Federal University of Applied Sciences. The recruitment process for 2026 is for an existing programme. It is not for a brand new degree.

After

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) offers a dual degree programme in Administrative Informatics. It starts on 1 March 2027 or 1 September 2027. This programme lasts three years. It includes 12 months of practical work in the BAMF IT department. People who finish the programme will become civil servants. They will earn a gross salary of more than €1,744.22.

This new programme helps eligible people get a job in public sector IT in Germany. It provides both university study and practical work experience. People who meet the strict rules can get a stable job as a civil servant. These rules cover school background, citizenship, and age limits. They will earn a good salary as soon as they finish the programme. The programme helps meet the urgent need for IT specialists in the federal administration. Successful applicants will help make public services digital. If you do not apply by the 30 September 2026 deadline, you will miss the chance to start in 2027.

Explained simply

Imagine you want to work in IT for the German government, making sure their computer systems are modern and secure. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is offering a special three-year programme, like a paid apprenticeship combined with university studies, called 'Administrative Informatics'. You'll learn about IT and how the government works, and you'll even get to spend a whole year working directly in BAMF's IT department. If you have the right school qualifications, are from Germany or certain European countries, and are under 50, you can apply. It's a great way to get a stable government job with good pay right after your studies, helping Germany go digital.
