What is the degree program about?

This degree program for working professionals “Digital Business & AI“ leading to the degree „Master of Business Administration (MBA)“ is aimed at graduates and young/senior professionals from a wide range of disciplines who want to equip themselves for the age of digitalization and artificial intelligence, combined with improved career opportunities. Age and professional orientation of the bachelor’s degree program are of secondary importance.

In 18 months, the central competencies for the digital age in the areas of management, information technology and security & law will be taught in a well-founded, practice-oriented and interactive way. All modules have been developed independently for the MBA and are holistically aligned with the “House of Digital Business & AI”. Digital strategy, leadership and transformation processes are equally important as the digitalization of business models, value chains and processes. Sound fundamentals on digital technologies, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data analytics and IT security and law complete the curriculum of proven experts from science and practice. Current case studies, trainings, simulations and a “Digital Field Trip” will not neglect the practical application. In the Master Thesis, a self-chosen question from everyday business life can be dealt with.
