Description/content

The Bachelor's BSc Digital Technology and Consulting degree programme (DTC) combines IT and business administration.

DTC teaches the skills to combine digital future technologies with economic challenges. Students learn how to implement digital processes in a targeted manner by combining knowledge from the fields of digital technology, business administration / consulting and IT.

The DTC degree programme provides students with insights into the most important areas of digitalisation in companies, in the world of work, and society. The latest digital technologies such as blockchain, data analytics, business-relevant software packages such as SAP and topics such as artificial intelligence, IoT and technology consulting are used.

Are you interested in studying with a focus on business administration and digitalisation, but don't want to become a hardcore programmer? Then the DTC course is the right one for you! The use of low-coding / no-coding software "... simplifies, streamlines and automates much of the development process ... so that programmers and non-programmers alike ... can use it." (source: Microsoft). This means that no hard coding experience is necessary with DTC, and DTC is also suitable for business people and engineers.
