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 âfuture skillsâ, 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.
Terminal Exam.
The test will assess studentsâ knowledge and understanding
End of term project.
Students will develop a project
Both formative (ongoing) and summative (final) as-sessments will be implemented in the module to measure student progress. Formative assessments can provide feedback to help students improve their overall study pathway. Clear assessment rubrics and criteria will be created for each topic, indicating how students will be assessed against learning objec-tives. The different assessment tools (e.g. examina-tions, assignments, projects, exercises) will allow di-rect measurement of the students' knowledge, skills, and competences.
The Master Thesis is a comprehensive research project that serves as the culmination of the Masterâs program. It requires students to independently investigate a specific topic within their field, applying advanced theoretical and methodological approaches. The thesis involves the development of a research question, extensive literature review, data collection and analysis, the presentation of original findings, and the defense of the final results of the research to different audiences. 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.
