Overview

The Innovation Management - specialisation in Digitalisation course from Hamburg School of Business Administration (HSBA) is taught entirely in English and leads to an internationally recognised Master of Science (MSc) in five semesters.

You will acquire around a third of the 120 ECTS credits in the Digitalisation specialisation: successful product innovations and efficient processes are based on the analysis and understanding of data. Therefore, algorithmic thinking, process modelling and concrete experimentation in a digital lab form the triad of the specialisation, which also focuses on the application-oriented embedding of AI.

You will learn how to usefully structure large amounts of data in a company and translate it into products and processes. As a rule, the three specialisation modules are followed by the Master's thesis in this area.
