Basics

“Digital Business Management” gives students the opportunity to qualify for jobs in E-Business. Not only does it strengthen the applicant’s position in today’s dynamic labor market, but it also increases the chances of being accepted for further post-graduate international education programs.

We acknowledge the cross-discipline character of Digital Business by a variety of cooperations with other institutes and faculties. “Digital Business Management” has its focus on business, therefore it is not the technological background but the managerial aspects that the emphasis is put on.

 

Recommended Scheme

“Digital Business Management” can be completed in 2 semesters and can be started in both the winter and the summer semester. In the last course, students may write their bachelor thesis.
