In business, data is the new oil — it revolutionizes societies and brings people together. Successful management in the digital age requires two skills: championing data science and business analytics in combination with management with a global perspective. This is precisely the combination offered by our BA program in Digital Business & Management here at Berlin International.

Students in our digital business and management program will learn how to navigate the new structures that govern the interactions between producers, customers, suppliers, and co-operation partners, and also will learn how to apply Machine Learning and other Data Science techniques. In addition, students will also become competent in areas such as finance, human resource management, and customer service. They will also develop strong interpersonal skills and learn to facilitate collaborative working methods in project management.

Course programme

On the BA Digital Business & Management program, students receive a thorough grounding in both management and data science, highlighting the interdependence of these two fields in a data-driven economy. This grounding covers:
  • Traditional management courses such as International Business and Strategy, complemented by a set of soft-skills courses such as Team-building and Conflict Management, as well as consulting.
  • Courses which sit at the intersection of management and data science, such as Digital Marketing and Platform Business.
  • Programming in Python and R, the two most widely used programming languages in data science. (No prior knowledge of programming is necessary — it is taught in a hands-on manner whereby students get extensive experience with a wide range of datasets, applying machine learning and other analytical techniques.)
  • Courses focusing on conceptual modeling techniques and tools, such as Digital Enterprise Management and Database Management.
  • Students will have the opportunity to obtain certificates in machine learning and cloud computing from the Amazon Web Services Academy.
To gain further hands-on experience and sharpen their expertise, students undertake an internship at an organization of their choice during their fifth semester.

Additional information

Students on our BA program get a hands-on educational experience at the cutting edge of the digital industry. Taking advantage of our location in Berlin — known for being the startup capital of Europe as well as the seat of many multinationals — the program’s focus on practical application is reflected in industry collaborations, for example with the Amazon Web Services Academy, of which Berlin International is a member. Amazon Web Services is the leading cloud provider, ahead of Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure (Kaggle, 2021). This is only one of the many ways in which we ensure that our students are equipped with the skills employers are looking for when they graduate.
