Description

The MBA Business in a Digital World combines traditional business administration content with strategies and challenges of digital transformation. The primary goal is to train students to work towards a leadership role within the global and digital economies as well as within the local economy.

Students engage in a blended-learning format in which course content is taught in the classroom, with self-study, and with online elements. The MBA Business in a Digital World is designed for three semesters, including two short-term stays abroad.

This MBA prepares students for future endeavours in international as well as local business opportunities through theoretical and practical learning. They will become familiar with sustainable responsibility for the economic development of the global economy.

Students learn to prepare themselves for a leadership role within the global, local and digital world economies. Students will also become equipped with the necessary tools to successfully represent a global organisation and to create and expand new business into global markets.
