The purpose of this course is to explore the trends, core concepts, theories, and approaches of business ethics and corporate sustainability. The course is divided into a general part and a track-specific part.

During this foundation course, you will explore 3 areas: Digital Strategy, Digital Processes and Digital Technologies. In the area of Digital Strategy, you will learn how to identify and assess strategic opportunities and challenges for existing and new digital capabilities. Area Digital Processes covers management issues that surround information development, implementation and digital transformation processes. In the Digital Technologies area you will learn how to look from a general management perspective at key technologies such as big data, cloud services, artificial intelligence and blockchain.

Data-driven organisations increasingly employ a wide range of data science techniques, from data acquisition and wrangling to process mining and artificial intelligence. Learn about these techniques, both conceptually as well as hands-on, as we bring you the a-b-c of data science: analytics, business and computer science.

Digital technologies, digitalisation and digitisation represent the fundamental technological developments of our time. Their application has created a new competitive landscape. This calls for start-ups as well as established companies to create fundamentally new business models at an unprecedented pace. In this course, we invite you to think critically about how companies can successfully migrate towards digital business models that create and sustain value. What type of digital strategies can they use? What are the advantages of a horizontal organisation and agile management? How to implement digital strategies? And how can firms achieve a competitive advantage when operating on digital platforms or ecosystems?

This course is meant to support you in writing you research proposal for you Master's thesis. During the course, you will learn how to change a general topic into a specific research proposal.

To prepare you for your professional career, this course is a combination of a series of corporate guest lecturers in Royal Theatre Carré and an offering of professional skills training e.g. Presentation Skills, Programming with Python and more.

In The Business Lab, you can choose from a wide selection of electives we call business labs. Each one is connected to a corporate partner. You will be challenged to solve real-world business issues, working in international teams and presenting your solution to the company.

The Master’s thesis is the final requirement for your graduation. It is your chance to dive deep into a topic that you are enthusiastic about. A professor in your field of choice (track) will supervise and support you in writing your thesis.
