The MSc programme in Digital Business Management addresses the increasing demand for business professionals who are able to apply digital technologies and data-driven methods to create new business opportunities, creating graduates who understand the effects of digital technologies on management, organisation, and work in corporations. The Digital Business Management track qualifies you to contribute to the acceleration of digital development and to bring new digital skills into companies that are either born digital or are on the threshold of a digital transformation.

DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIGITAL BUSINESS

Digital technologies have become a driving force behind business transformation for companies of all sizes across all industries and sectors. Digital transformation involves the development of structures and processes that allow the company not only to leverage data and algorithms to improve its efficiency, but to facilitate interactions with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as create new business models, products, and services. As a result, it is imperative for companies to address digitalisation as a holistic, company-wide change process that blurs the line between business and technology. This implies a fundamental change in the management and organisation of companies, creating new demand for innovative employees with digital skills who are qualified to work in the intersection between business and technology within all areas of the business.

The MSc programme in Digital Business Management addresses the increasing demand for business professionals with digital competencies that cover both technical skills (e.g. programming skills) and non-technical skills (digital business understanding and the ability to drive digital innovation). The programme builds on business administration, digital technologies, IT, and data science, as well as organisational and management perspectives. It provides you with a deep understanding of theories and strategies within the field of digital business, as well as hands-on experience with advanced methods and tools used in the intersection between business and technology.
