The German-language Digital Transformation & Sustainability (MSc) programme also deals with the topic of digitisation – and combines this with another future-focused topic: sustainability. Professors and project consultants support a small study group with a maximum of 18 students in project-based learning and prepare them for a career as a change manager, project manager or CEO. The Master's Degree Digital Transformation and Sustainability is oriented towards the global goals of the UN.
In a digitalised and globalised world, it is more important than ever for graduates of a master's programme to be able to master complex challenges through innovative and strategic thinking. It is precisely this sustainable business planning that the English-language master's programme Innovation Management (MSc) prepares students for. The focus is on the application of state-of-the-art tools and processes for the development of new products and services. In addition, students acquire in-depth knowledge of mathematics and statistics as well as negotiation skills and project management.
We offer the Master's degree programme in Innovation Management with five specialisations: Business Development, Digitalisation, Finance, Shipping & Logistics and Start-up.
