What you can expect in the Digital Business Modelling and Entrepreneurship Master's programme

Digital business models are at the core of many highly innovative and profitable new businesses. At the same time, they are also reshaping the majority of traditional industries. This is why we put the skills needed for the successful development of digital business models at the center of our master’s degree programme.

The entrepreneurship element is added in order to provide the tools to put the digital business models into action: We equip you with the essentials of management capabilities such as strategy and leadership, financing, business planning and organisation from the perspective of the agile and technology-orientated start-up company.

In fact, many mature companies are also finding this quite useful when it comes to improving their intrapreneurship and specifically looking for this skillset in their applicants.

The lectures in this business administration master's programme are held entirely in English. International expert lecturers in digitalisation and regular exciting guest lectures complement the teaching. Also, you will learn and work in this programme with fellow international students from all over the world.

Voices from the Business Administration Master's programme

"Studying at HDBW was an incredibly enriching experience. The combination of hands-on learning with academic depth provided me with the skills and confidence to tackle real-world challenges in my field. The supportive faculty and industry-focused curriculum made my journey not only educational but truly transformative, leaving me with connections that I will keep for my future and endless opportunities."

"Despite my previous bachelor's and MBA degrees from international universities, I lacked a deeper understanding of the impact of digital technologies on businesses to found my startup. This is exactly what the HDBW Master Digital Business Modelling and Entrepreneurship helped me with."

 

"Innovative and demanding challenges, individual and personalised support- I am more than ready for the professional world!"

 

"Technical discipline, computer science and business administration must be networked in practice in order to develop viable solutions. That's why I was already involved in the development of the Business Administration master's programme at the HDBW in Munich during my time as Managing Director "Mobility" and "Internet of Things" at Accenture Digital Germany "
