1-Year MSc in Digital Business & Data Management

Discover our program

The digital revolution is real, pervasive and inevitable. This global megatrend is at the heart of our future world.

It is the result of unprecedented, exponential technological advances that are becoming the focus of the future. New digital technologies such as AI, big data, and blockchain are disrupting the global economy and will continue to profoundly shape the way we buy, work, and live.
As a result, companies are accelerating their digital transformation. Between the metamorphosis of the traditional business model and the development of new digital services, the number of initiatives is increasing. However, the majority of these initiatives will fail, in part due to a lack of human and digital expertise. 

Understanding this digital disruption requires a new vision and an urgent need to assimilate this new business, which is here to stay and take root.
In particular, companies need a new generation of managers with "digital talents" who can decipher the codes and rules that govern this digital world. 
With the MSc in Digital Business & Data Management, you'll be able to understand the facets of this digital disruption, respond more quickly and effectively, infuse the organization with the digital spirit and philosophy, and develop the new skills you need to advance your career in a high-growth market.
