The degree program combines modern computer science with business and teaches you all the skills you need to develop innovative digital business models and products. During the course, we cover important topics in areas such as service engineering, software management, digital business, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and much more.
The course directly combines teaching and practice by focusing lectures on modern technologies and industry issues. You can also take part in a one-year practical project in the first semester, in which you work on current industry topics together with other students and your professors. This can involve developing digital business models and strategies, for example, or apps or web applications for the cloud - you can choose from several projects and tailor your studies to your wishes!
In addition to these basic building blocks for a successful career in digital business, you can also focus on your strengths and favorite topics during your studies. By combining elective Courses, you can for example specialize in strategic areas such as service engineering or software architecture, or more technical topics such as the Internet of Things, cloud-based web development, or artificial intelligence.
The M.Sc. Digital Business Engineering degree program
The degree program teaches in-depth computer science skills in innovative core topics of business informatics. The focus is on engineering methods for the design of software-intensive products combined with the formal know-how of analysis and modeling for complex IT systems and IT-based value-creation processes. Added to this is the technical and strategic know-how for the comprehensive and pervasive computerization of companies. Accordingly, topics like service engineering, business process modeling, and distributed systems are discussed in the course. In addition, the integration of new computer science approaches into business-relevant strategies is also covered in this degree. This includes cutting-edge computer science topics from the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cloud computing, and entrepreneurship methods for software products. Finally, it is also about the implementation of corresponding approaches in IT and consulting projects.

Studies
Compatible with workThe M.Sc. Digital Business Engineering can be studied as a normal degree course, but is also particularly compatible with a career, as the modules are organized as full-day block courses. All lecture days for all modules are already known at the start of the semester so that you can plan optimally. In addition, all compulsory modules are offered every semester, allowing you to put together your own individual study plan for each semester. This flexibility is used by many students at the HHZ to combine working student activities, part-time jobs or even full-time employment with their studies. To help you design your optimal study plan, we have designed so-called “tracks” that suggest a grouping of modules, for example to complete all modules in a few weeks or to attend regular events per week.
