Description/content

In the Bachelor's in Management & Data Science, data science aspects permeate all management modules. The Bachelor's programme in Management & Data Science offers a fully-fledged management education in which traditional business management content (such as accounting, logistics and marketing) is learned and reflected upon in the context of data science.

Technological developments such as artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning are viewed holistically from the perspective of technology designers and users. This is done along economic, social and ethical standards and criteria, including compatibility with fundamental rights and the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students acquire a strong mathematical foundation and attend several basic computer science courses at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology at the TUM Heilbronn campus.

Students in the Bachelor's in Management & Data Science are therefore ideally equipped to take on management tasks in this era of digital change. They learn how personal, corporate and social data can be utilised for the benefit of people, companies and society. The potential use of technologies and data in the ecological field (e.g. in climate protection) also plays an important role.

Overall, the Bachelor's in Management & Data Science offers a unique combination of management skills and data science to successfully master the challenges of digital transformation.

Course organisation

In the first four semesters, students are introduced to business administration (39 credits), economics (12 credits), law (six credits) and quantitative basics (27 credits) as well as technical basics in the field of data science (36 credits). All courses are compulsory modules.

University location

Welcome to the Region of World Market Leaders! There are many reasons to study in Heilbronn. The city lies in the heart of Heilbronn-Franken, the region of world market leaders. A great number of innovative firms, many of them family-led small and medium-sized enterprises, have achieved top positions in world markets from their locations right here. That makes Heilbronn the perfect match for the particular TUM model, with its combination of entrepreneurial spirit and innovative capacity. Here, you can learn how these companies operate and how they are managed – straight from the source.

The Campus for the Digital Age The primary focus lies on managing digital transformation in the field of family businesses and information technology. Research and teaching aim to bridge the gap between business, engineering sciences, and information engineering in a dynamic, international environment. This opens up new research fields – for example, related to digital transformation and platform economy, which are used both in the innovative companies of the Heilbronn-Franken region and worldwide.

One of the most significant advantages of the TUM Heilbronn campus is its size, being home to just a few hundred students. This creates a sense of belonging and makes it easy to meet people; there is a good chance that our Student Service Point staff will quickly know your name.

Living in Heilbronn The charming combination of tradition and modernity makes Heilbronn an attractive place to live and study. Besides great museums such as Experimenta, Germany’s largest science centre, Heilbronn has many stores and boutiques located close to the historic city centre and a lively restaurant and bar scene that has emerged along the Neckar River in recent years. Heilbronn is well connected to the highways A6 and A81, making it easy to discover cities such as Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Mannheim, and Würzburg from your base here.
