Our learning concept is radically different

• Challenge-based: Engage with real-life challenges instead of abstract theoretical lectures, ensuring your education is directly applicable to real-world situations.
• Professors as mentors: Our professors take on the role of mentors, offering tailored support for problem-solving and delivering focused learning units as needed.
• Self-directed learning: In a world where knowledge is just a click away, we promote dynamic education through self-directed learning and peer collaboration.

While our Bachelor's program focuses heavily on project-based learning, the Master's program has a slightly different approach due to its shorter format. Diving deep into project-based learning can be quite time-consuming, so it's not fully suitable for the entire Master's curriculum. But if you're in the 120 ECTS track, you’ll get to experience one dedicated project module.

The rest of the Master's program is challenge-based, keeping things dynamic and practice-driven. This means you'll tackle real-world problems and come up with practical solutions, all while getting hands-on experience.

Plus, we're super supportive of our students' interests. If you have your own challenges or ideas you want to explore, we're all ears and ready to incorporate them into your learning journey!

What you will learn

You will gain an advanced understanding of digital technologies and software engineering, as well as essential skills in technology management and leadership, ensuring you are well-prepared to tackle the dynamic challenges of the tech industry.
