About the programme

The M.B.A. in Digitalization and Innovation at Hof University of Applied Sciences prepares graduates with professional experience to move from specialist roles into leadership in digitally changing businesses. It is taught in English over 4 semesters, starting in winter or summer. The first two semesters cover innovation management, digital transformation and technologies such as data analytics, AI, IT security and digital business models, alongside strategy, finance, project management and leadership, taught through case studies and simulations. The third and fourth semesters are an integrated industry phase with a 30-credit internship and a practice-oriented Master's thesis. No programming experience is needed, and German classes are built in: you need German at A1 to apply and B1 before the internship. It suits graduates from technical and non-technical backgrounds.
