Programme overview
Our Bachelor's in Digital Business aims to provide you with a sound education in Business Administration and an in-depth understanding of information technologies and related topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Data Analysis. In the English-language version of the study programme, or if you choose the Data Science specialisation in the German-language version, you will be specifically prepared to analyse large databases using information technology methods, tools and systems and to develop practical solutions in the context of projects. If you choose to pursue an alternative focus on Digital Marketing in the German-language study variant, you will learn how to plan and implement digital marketing measures and determine their success
Our Bachelor's study programme is modular, i.e. you study based on subject areas that are divided into so-called modules. After successfully completing the modules, you will be credited with ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), which document your achievements. These ECTS points are internationally comparable and, of course, recognised.
Below you will find an overview of the German-language study option. For more information on the English-language study option, please see the Module Handbook linked below.

Study model and prices for the Bachelor's online study programme in Digital Business
Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.
Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
