Two Years, Two Degrees: your first year focuses on mastering the basics, gaining a foundation in business and management, and learning how to transform technology into a successful business plan.

A Hub of Learning and Innovation

The EIT Digital Master School is much more than 'just a school'. In fact, the classroom component represents only a part of the total learning experience. After all, truly mastering a subject requires that you get hands-on experience - and what better way to do that than working alongside some of Europe’s leading minds in academia, research, entrepreneurship, business, and industry.

Direct access to a world-class network

With a network of over 200 European corporations, SMEs, start-ups, universities, and research centres, EIT Digital has established itself as a literal hub of innovation. In fact, through our partnerships, we’re behind some of the cutting-edge research that is driving Europe’s digital transformation.

Colocation Centres: located in Berlin, Budapest, Eindhoven, Helsinki, London, Madrid, Paris, Stockholm, and Trento, our Colocation Centres are the place to build your network, share digital ideas, and create tomorrow’s disruptive solutions.

A unique opportunity to get hands-on, real-world experience, and take a deep dive into using digital innovation and entrepreneurship to solve societal challenges and access business opportunities. Collaborate with faculty, staff, and like-minded students from around the world as you immerse yourself in actual business cases. You’ll even have the opportunity to develop, evaluate, and pitch a business idea!

Gaia Businaro

“These two years I studied in such a healthy environment. A beautiful community of people that were helping each other, were collaboration was valued more than competition. I studied topics that were interesting to me and worked with the latest technology like VR and AR rediscovering the passion that initially brought me to choose Computer Science.”

Júlia Hermann

"I would not have a creer in Machine Learning Engineering at all without EIT Digital. Having studied at the EIT Digital Master School, I can work in different industries and in different countries. It empowered me with the freedom to work on projects I care about and helped me grow in my career. Currently, I work as a machine learning engineer at adidas Runtastic in Austria. This means I combine my skills in software engineering with my experience in algorithms and data science. For me this is a perfect position: financial analysis and computer science.”

Carlos Callejo

“Data science is a fascinating topic nowadays and I thought learning it would grant me great opportunities. Also, I am an avid traveller: studying at two different universities in two countries, and the chance to attend events in other countries, is a dream. I was interested in the business side of technology and I thought I could learn a lot from this and it can be helpful in my future. That is why I chose the EIT Digital Master School over the job. And, I have to say, it was the correct decision and my time at the EIT Digital Master School has been my best two years so far.”

Luca Vavassori

"I had an internship first to complete my studies and work on my master thesis project. I took the challenge to move from Stockholm to Amsterdam for my internship at KPMG. After my internship, KPMG offered me a full-time position as Data Scientist and Consultant. It has been 2 years in which I learned a lot. I define myself as a technical guy with an entrepreneurial mind, and I like having core technical skills and having a strong mind for business. That is what we learn and develop at the EIT Digital Master School.”

Sanya Shoaib

"Doing your MSc via EIT Digital not only gives you a master’s degree at the end of your course, it also teaches you independence. I got to learn about FinTech, which is my major, and also got the chance to do a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Moreover, studying from two different universities will help in me getting a job in the future and it also gives me more exposure in terms of personal development. Overall, it has been an unforgettable experience!"
