LEADING THE DIGITAL CHANGE

Take on responsibility, develop leadership qualities and lead the digital change - these are the goals the graduates of the program "Digital Business & Marketing Intelligence" can achieve. 

The ongoing globalization increases costs and puts pressure on organizations, which is why talents are needed who understand digital strategies & business models and are able to put them into practice. Those can come into effect in any area of an organization: products and services, processes, IT, management, organizational structure, leadership, ethics and culture. Graduates are able to develop products and services themselves (focus: Digital Business) and also take the marketing of their developments into consideration (focus: Marketing Intelligence).

We teach our students fundamental knowledge in the fields of Digital Business, Marketing Intelligence and Management, as well as the appropriate key qualifications. Additionally, we address the societal impact of digitalization and all phases of the innovation- and knowledge-cycle.  

Workshop

ONE PROGRAM - TWO POSSIBILITIES

Through the profiles "Digital Business Technology" and "Digital Marketing" a student can deepen their knowledge in either Digital Business or Marketing Intelligence individually

"Digital Business Technology" deals intensively with the technical realization of products and services. Via modules like "Development of Digital Products", "Software Engineering for Managers" or "Advanced Cloud Computing", the students can gain the skills to formulate technical requirements, to control the technical implementation and demonstrate knowledge of key technologies.

The profile "Digital Marketing" comprises the (digital) marketing of digital products and services. Profile-specific modules are "Advanced Digital Marketing", "Digital Branding" and "Customer Journey Intelligence & Conversionoptimization". Students will receive insight into the strategic alignment of an organization, the development of a digital branding strategy and they will learn how to make data-based decisions alongside the customer journey.

CHANGING THE WORLD DIGITALLY - EVEN IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE FIELD

As a consecutive continuation of the Bachelor's study programs in "Business Informatics" and "Internet & Online-Marketing", the Master's study program offers a balanced mix, based on the chosen profile, of marketing, traditional business administration and computer science. With a focus on Digital Business. At the same time, there is a special focus on practical orientation in all courses.

The organization of the on-campus courses during the lecture periods allows them to be held over three days.

By the way: With a non-informatic degree, an individual study plan with bridge courses or bridge semesters will be created for you.
