Program overview
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.
A total of 60 ECTS credits are earned in three semesters. These are made up of nine modules with 5 ECTS credits each and the Master’s thesis with 15 ECTS credits. The lectures take place on Fridays from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Each module includes three in-person weekends.
Together they form the „House of Digital Business & AI“, consisting of the foundation („Strategy“), two further levels („Methods“ and „Functions“) and the roof („Applications“).

On the one hand, the MBA is aimed at employees who want to get fit for the digital age and open up improved career opportunities in digital business as part of digitization. Age, job experience, position and functional area are of secondary importance.
On the other hand, the course is also aimed at employers who want to make their digital transformation management fit for the digital transformation. Company size and industry play a subordinate role here.
