It demonstrates the student's ability to conduct rigorous research, critically engage with scholarly work, and contribute to academic or practical knowledge in their discipline.
The group challenge is a fundamental part of the study program to apply learned concepts and frameworks and to build up additional competencies required for leaders in the digital world. The module poses a variety of challenges to a group of at least three students that commonly work on solving the given task. Challenges posed are individual per group but all focus on different aspects of digital trans-formation. This can include application scenarios in different industries or for the advancement of societies alike. Students in this module will be mentored by the professor and the teaching team to solve the challenge and thereby also learn and apply tools of digital project management.
This module onboards students to the program, the teaching and learning methods. Irrespective of the area of implementation, digitali-zation and digital transformation pose complex chal-lenges. Often, problems are not well-defined and need to be tackled in diverse areas being aware of many interrelated elements. Therefore, the skill to solve complex problems belongs to a set of so-called āfuture skillsā, which humans need to thrive in and design the digital age. The module also teaches the principles, techniques and processes of Design Thinking, a user-centric approach to solve wicked problems and to design innovations.
