Key qualification for digitalisation: graduates specialists who are in high demand

What is the structure of the programme?

Typically, today's projects bring together specialists who have been shaped in a wide variety of scientific cultures and therefore usually have completely different approaches to solving problems. As an industrial engineer (digital economy), you have become familiar with these different "languages" during your studies and can quickly think your way into new situations, develop solutions in a team and, above all, think outside the box. You have learned to look at complex tasks from different angles and you have the self-confidence to solve problems with common sense. As a graduate of the WI-Digital Business degree programme, you are one of the most sought-after professionals in the age of industrial digitalisation. In your studies, you will deal with, among other things:

Business administration and business informatics
Project management and software development
