Digitalisation is fundamentally changing our economy and society. The interplay between organisations and information technology creates a need for professionals who have a solid, broad grasp of business administration and the technical skills to help shape the digital transformation.
When you study the B.Sc. Digital Transformation in Business and Society programme, you receive training in both business and digitalisation, enabling you to take on this key role. This degree programme has a strong business administration orientation and allows you to set your own interdisciplinary specialisation. You can choose whether to specialise in management (business administration) or information systems; at the same time you will have the opportunity to acquire additional competencies in communication studies, psychology, IT law or entrepreneurship. This will put you in a position where you can support the digital transformation of organisations and develop new business models.
The School of Business, Economics and Information Systems offers two master's programmes – M.Sc. Business Administration and M.Sc. Information Systems – which build directly on this bachelor's programme.
Demand for experts and managers who not only have economic specialist knowledge but also well-founded methods, data and digitalisation skills is increasing. Those graduating from the B.Sc. Digital Transformation in Business and Society are prepared for the challenges of a digitalised world in a multitude of ways:
Furthermore, the degree programme provides the prerequisites to access other occupational areas in education and science, market and opinion research as well as (depending your chosen secondary subject/minor) in the occupational fields of media and communication research, media management and digital services development.
This bachelor's degree programme has a strong business/economics focus. It is supplemented by offerings from neighbouring disciplines, in particular law and social sciences. The programme is divided into the following areas:
This two-semester introductory phase imparts theory and methods from the areas of business, economics, law and information technology. When studying this phase, you will develop your foundational methodological, data and digitalisation competencies. You will also acquire subject-specific foreign language skills (English).
From the third semester onwards, you will specialise in a main ("major") subject and deepen your subject-specific competencies. Two subject majors are available:
You will also choose a secondary subject ("minor") to expand your competences and for interdisciplinary training. This deals with the challenges of digitalisation in areas that are complementary to business and economics. Minors are offered in communication and psychology, IT law and entrepreneurship.
