Overview The programme is offered as a part‑time, fully online Master’s taught in English and carries international accreditation. It is delivered by the university’s Digital/International Digital Business School and is designed to prepare learners for specialist and management roles in digitally driven organisations.
What you will learn Students gain practical and strategic competencies across digital management areas, including artificial intelligence, digital business models, analytics and digital marketing. The curriculum targets the skills needed to lead digital transformation initiatives and to develop and scale digital business opportunities.
Qualification options and practical info Successful completion yields a Master of Science degree, which also qualifies graduates to pursue doctoral studies. Alternatively, learners may opt for shorter credentials within the same framework: a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS), a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) or a Certificate. The school regularly hosts online information evenings; dates and registration details are published on the programme website.
Practical bullets (key facts & admissions)
The programme is structured around five core competence areas, each made up of two targeted courses. These areas—Digital Business; AI & Analytics; Web3 & Immersive Web; Digital Leadership & Transformation; and Digital Marketing & Sales—together cover strategic, technical and valuation perspectives on digital ventures and transformation. The curriculum deliberately pairs conceptual topics (e.g., strategy, leadership, planning) with applied subjects (e.g., analytics, blockchain, immersive technologies) so you learn both why digital change matters and how to implement it.
Graduates will be equipped to evaluate and design digital business models, apply AI and data analytics to customer and business problems, understand the implications and opportunities of blockchain and immersive web technologies, lead organisational digital transformation, and develop integrated digital marketing and sales strategies including e-commerce and customer experience management.

This master's program expects applicants to hold a first university degree (a Bachelor's or an equivalent qualification) that meets the European credit requirement. The standard entry threshold is 210 ECTS credits. ECTS refers to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System commonly used across European higher education.
Applicants who completed a degree amounting to 180 ECTS can still be considered for admission, provided they can document at least six months of professional work experience. There are no formal entry requirements for standalone diploma, certificate studies, or certificate courses; however, when those are combined with the MSc pathway, the MSc admission rules apply.

Graduates are prepared for specialist and management roles in digital business functions — for example digital product/portfolio manager, digital transformation lead, data/analytics manager, AI product manager, digital marketing manager, e‑commerce manager, or consultant in technology and business transformation. The programme’s emphasis on AI, analytics, digital business models and marketing equips graduates to design, evaluate and implement data-driven digital strategies across sectors such as tech, consulting, finance, retail and startups.
As the MSc qualifies for doctoral studies, alumni seeking academic or high-level research careers can pursue PhD pathways. The part-time, practice-oriented format also supports career advancement for professionals seeking promotion or transitions into digital leadership roles within their organisations.
