Modern studying at HHZ

The Herman Hollerith Zentrum (HHZ) is the teaching and research center of the Faculty of Informatics on the Böblingen campus. In cooperation with leading companies, we implement extremely innovative teaching concepts and first-class research. The campus in Böblingen has excellent technical facilities. Infrastructure, technology, software resources, and labs are specially designed to meet the study programs' requirements. As a result, lectures are supplemented with high-end technology, for example with large touch TVs on which students can create digital sketches. Our 360° cameras also enable optimal online streaming of lectures if students are unable to attend on site, for example due to illness.

The dual Master's degree program at HHZ paved the way for me into the tech and IT industry. Without this experience, I wouldn't be where I am today. As well as gaining valuable technical knowledge, I have made friends for life who have enriched me both professionally and personally. An absolute recommendation!

 

Isabeau Stender, Senior Solution Advisor BTP, SAP (Schweiz) AG

Because of my studies at HHZ, I was able to develop both personally and in terms of content. In my opinion, this was the foundation for being able to perform my current role as an interface between business and IT perfectly.

 

Marco Schwarz, Projektmanager für Hybrid Cloud Projekte, IBM

The course enabled me to develop both professionally and personally. The practical content, the exchange with people from a wide range of companies and highlights such as the study trip to Tel Aviv had a decisive influence on my career path. 

 

Adrian Gläser, IT Product Owner bei Daimler Truck AG

The Master's degree in Digital Business Management was an excellent addition to my professional development. Practical insights into digital strategies and AI-supported expert knowledge have shaped my path as Data & AI Sales to this day

 

Peter Korzilius, Account Manager Data & AI Sales, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise

I really enjoy coming to Böblingen. The people you can work with here, the professors and the content are so good and convincing that I'm always happy to get on a plane to study here

 

Sven Sommer, Head of Box@Fressnapf 

The Master's degree is not only compatible with my job, but one ideally complements the other. As I have to understand my customers and they deal very intensively with digital topics, I can apply the course content directly 

 

Nathalie Hasreiter, Senior Managing Consultant, IBM Deutschland 

My Bachelor's degree in International Business Administration had relatively few IT components. In order to improve my knowledge in this area as well, I was looking for a combination that dealt intensively with both management and IT.
