Nowadays, the research and study of social sciences of the internet (the life online) is so relevant for people, businesses and governments that will play competitive advantages at regional, country and global landscapes in the short future.
Moreover, the paradigm changed from an economy based on natural resources, physical inputs and value chains based on physical infrastructure into one based on new knowledge, digital technology. Thus, decision-making processes and global value chains become more and more influenced by digital tools and systems, social networks and consumer data.
There are driving forces - political, social, cultural, economic and technological factors - that are promoting a disruptive change on digital ecosystems: firstly, the Internet of Documents (Adobe), secondly, the Internet of Commerce (Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, etc.), thirdly, the Internet of People (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and, more recently, the Internet of Things (IoT). Our Digital Business and Data Science B.Sc. program offers students an insightful view into the future!
This transformation - also called the Fourth Industrial Revolution - is influencing innovative and growth strategies, conceptual models of design thinking and innovation management, technology convergence, business modelling, consumer behavior, brand management, social media marketing and communication, online sales and customer relationship management. The same goes for processes reengineering, operations and supply chain management systems. Last, but not least, it is shaping data science and new knowledge, data security and privacy, corporate governance and policy making.
This study program is aimed specifically at students who are curious and have the creativity to imagine and the aspiration to learn and develop something new that impact the world and change their lives.
Our students have multidisciplinary backgrounds, different nationalities, diverse cultures and multiple perspectives. You will learn how to develop entrepreneurial and innovative projects that combine new knowledge on digital technologies and business administration & management, while responding to disruptive corporate industry challenges. If you want to engage into an advanced content curriculum and innovative pedagogy experience, while interacting with a high qualified faculty team, who will support you individually along the program and beyond, then the Digital Business & Data Science B.Sc. program is a differentiator.

Major digital technology areas and key trends
Subject knowledge & activity areas
Since 1990s' the internet exploded and connected almost 1 billion users - the first wave, in 2000s' users connected almost reached the triple, with another 2 billion - the second wave, but nowadays digital connections are embedded in almost aspects of our daily lives. By the end of 2018 the value of the global information technology in the industry 4.0 eclipsed the $4.8 trillion mark in 2018, and it is still growing in 2019 and the next coming years.
Our increasingly data driven world and the IoT trend is leading society into new challenges and changes like big data getting bigger, mobile computing, telecommunication costs, ubiquity, technology convergence, regulation, security, privacy and globalization. The IoT holds a number of transformative implications on people, business and societies. The data and information flows that continually exchange from people and devices, businesses and governments can be aggregated and analysed to create new ways of design thinking, new types of products and services, new types of social behavior experiences, consumer decision making and citizenship models.
To study the digital technology revolution as a driving force is key to understand future of social, educational and cultural changes, as well as digital businesses transformations, and e-Government optimization models. This is challenging governments, companies and citizens, but there is a significant digital competencies & skills gap in Germany, Europe and worldwide. Our Digital Business and Data Science B.Sc. program is addressing this need now and in the future.
