Digital Business Innovation and Transformation master degree programme
Become a change agent! After your master degree, you'll lead your company into the future. You'll be able to coordinate and direct digital transformations, no matter what the industry. Because the future is digital.
The part-time master programme focuses on key business administration skills combined with expertise in digitalisation and innovation, as well as the ability to understand, motivate and lead people.
The degree programme: Master of Arts in Business (MA)
Big data, the Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and robotics: just a few examples of digital innovations that are permanently changing the rules of the game for organisations.
Companies must be well-prepared for new challenges in order to ensure their continued success and take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalisation. Digital transformation shouldn't be a mere buzzword – it has to be reflected in the strategy, structures, corporate culture, and processes of a company.
And this is exactly what our programme prepares you for. As a graduate, you'll act as an ambassador for digitalisation and innovation: you'll see digitalisation as an opportunity and be able to show companies where potential for networking and ongoing development lies.
The master programme equips you with the skills you need to successfully manage digitalisation processes in companies. A powerful combination: business administration, digital and data expertise, and an understanding of the behavioural and sociological aspects of transformation.
Since digitalisation continues to increasingly connect the world, the degree stands out for its strong international focus. Just a few examples: English as the language of instruction, countless international teachers, and the opportunity to spend semester 3 at one of our 157 partner universities.
What makes the degree unique is our holistic approach to digitalisation. On the one hand, critical and analytical thinking are needed to fully exploit existing processes digitally. On the other hand, creativity is called for to explore potential and develop, test and, if necessary, integrate innovative products, services, and business models into the company. We call this process transformation. The challenge lies less in mastering the new digital technologies or ensuring profitability, but rather in bringing the human factor to the fore and incorporating it into the process. Our focus here is on customer-centric innovation using approaches such as design thinking, as well as on human-computer interaction, human development and communications, change and transformation management, leadership, and ethics.
Programme director Roger Hage
A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience
The programme is built on three pillars.
The business basics
Semesters 1-4
The programme starts by covering business basics with a special emphasis on the strategic focus of companies. You'll deal specifically with corporate structure and prepare yourself to assume management tasks in digital settings.
You'll develop a deep understanding of the importance of continuous optimisation processes, but risk management is also an important element of the curriculum. You'll learn how to implement proactive company-wide risk management systems. In addition, you'll become familiar with tools for identifying and assessing risks. This will enable you to objectively assess opportunities and risks and therefore reach sustainable corporate decisions. Since technologies are developing rapidly, often exponentially, the degree prepares you for future scenarios and building corporate foresight: you learn how to continuously develop forward-looking strategies to prepare for future contingencies.
The core topics
Semesters 1-4
Innovation and digitisation have already become important corporate success factors and will become increasingly decisive for companies in the future. During your studies you'll learn how to embed these elements in your company and successfully transform existing processes. After graduation, you'll be excellently positioned to initiate and implement a transition from analogue to digital organisational structures.
In other words, you'll focus on how to make companies sustainable and competitive in the long term. You'll become an expert in ongoing change processes.
Digitalisation is a new discipline and as such is unable to tap into widely proven best practices. You will therefore learn how to experiment creatively and skilfully, and how to make evidence-based decisions, i.e. ones which are well-founded and data driven. You will gradually advance to become a data expert after taking a number of courses in data management and analysis, using statistical and programming tools such as R and SAS. You won’t be a fully-fledged data scientist or programmer, but by the end of the programme you'll be capable of working effectively alongside IT engineers and data scientists.
The practical training
Semesters 1-4
A practical focus is more than just a buzzword at IMC Krems; our lecturers share their real-life professional experience. Many of the programme’s lecturers are regarded as experts in the digital economy and can draw on international experience. Problems are discussed and dealt with on the basis of case studies. And the Innovation Lab, a joint project with companies in semester 3, gives students practical insights into the topics they have covered. You can select your project based on your interests and industry preferences. You can also learn from your fellow students by working in groups, all of whom can share their valuable experience from everyday professional settings.
In semesters 3 and 4 you will also be working on your master thesis. Depending on your interests, your thesis will focus on a research-related or practical question. Ideally, your theses will examine a real-life project at your company. You can enhance your expertise on a topic of your choice and pick up valuable input from our experts.

Core topics
Re-imagine the business world! During your studies you'll ask yourself how you can advance digitalisation and innovation in your company based on basic economic principles.
Digital transformation
Where are we headed in this digitalised world? Get a holistic perspective of new technologies and work out how you can use digitalisation to add value to your business.
Opportunities of digitalisation
Developments such as automation, the sharing economy, prosumerisation – the growing professional demands of users on products and services – as well as smart services are only a few of the trends you'll deal with in depth. You'll also learn how to integrate digital processes into your corporate strategy and how your company can benefit from continuous improvement processes, right through to the development of innovative business processes.
On the other hand, you will also deal with the effects of digitalisation on society and the economy and learn to assess the associated opportunities and risks.
In this regard, you'll discuss how you can ensure that today's workforce meets tomorrow's needs. This means taking a close look at the conditions for digital work. For example, you'll deal with communication and collaboration among remote teams.
The power of data
During your studies you will come to realise the importance of data for the digitalisation of business models. You'll look at data generation, data management, data analysis and data visualisation. But data protection and governance play equally crucial roles, as do the appropriate tools and processes for optimal data management.
Let the data speak to you! You will naturally also learn how you can benefit from data – especially for Industry 4.0, the Internet of things (IoT) and digital services. Big data analysis and data mining are two terms that come up a lot.
Innovation 4.0
It will soon become obvious to you that digitalisation and innovation go hand in hand. That's why you'll also deal with the key well-established and new innovation models. You'll learn digital approaches that you can use to increase innovation in your company.
Digitalisation calls for change
You'll deal with organisational forms that promote innovation, and learn to transcend restrictive structures in traditional organisations. During your studies you'll acquire tools that will help you to successfully manage digital change processes. Because professional project and change management are indispensable when implementing a digitalisation process.
You'll also learn how to make the most of internal and external trends and developments. Based on your analyses, you'll design scenarios to ensure that your company is well-positioned to face the future.
Embedding innovation in your corporate culture
You'll also study human-centred innovation – especially design thinking – and learn about the underlying process in depth. Learn to walk the walk - that's the idea! It's a matter of identifying non-intuitive behaviour and reacting to it as quickly as possible with a prototype or a minimum viable product. Then you ask your users for feedback – and incorporate it immediately. This succinct process is then repeated several times.
In the Innovation Lab, you and your classmates will apply this approach to creatively, efficiently and effectively solve problems for real-world projects.

Application and admissions – the next steps
You've found a course that's a perfect fit? Great – you’ve already taken the most important step! We’ve put together an overview to guide you through the next steps.
Admission requirements
We'll be happy to inform you about the requirements you have to meet in order to apply.
Admissions procedure
Preparation is everything – read up on the admissions procedure in detail.
Important dates and deadlines
What deadlines do you need to keep an eye on for your online application? Get an overview.
Apply online
You've decided for one of our degree programmes? First of all: congratulations and thank you for choosing us! We’ll be happy to guide you step-by-step through your online application.
Study-relevant dates
You would like to plan ahead and would like to know when your degree programme starts? Here you will find the answer!
Admission requirements
What are the admission requirements for master programmes?
To qualify for a master programme, you must have completed a bachelor degree – with a workload of at least 180 ECTS and lasting at least six semesters – in a related subject, or hold an equivalent degree from a recognised Austrian or foreign higher education institution.
If your undergraduate studies are not sufficiently relevant, for instance if you’ve completed a degree in an unrelated subject, your qualifications will be assessed after we have received your completed application.
Information about accepted previous academic qualifications
What kind of previous degrees are acceptable?
Basically, you need to have completed a business or technical undergraduate degree, or one which combined the two.
What proof of your language skills is required for our English-language master degree programme?
If English is your first language, or if you’ve already completed an undergraduate degree which was taught entirely in English, you don’t need any additional evidence of your English proficiency.
Otherwise, you’ll need to submit one of the following certificates:
- IELTS Academic – minimum score of 7.0
- Cambridge C1 Advanced (formerly CAE)
Language certificates must be no more than two years old and can be submitted by the start of the degree programme. If you submit it after your application, upload a copy of your proof of registration for the English language exam you are going to take along with your application.
Do you still need to earn a certificate? At our International Language Center you can complete both an IELTS preparatory workshop as well as the IELTS certificate.
Admissions procedure
Application interview
Everything revolves around the students on our master programmes. That’s why we’d like to get to know you personally. At your application interview, you will take part in a dialogue with two members of the relevant university department.
During the interview, conducted in the language of instruction of the programme, you’ll talk about aspects such as your current skillset, your working environment and why you want to take the programme.
The interviewers will pay particular attention to your professional experience, your methods-based and language skills, and your general suitability for your selected master degree programme.
Tip
We can also interview you via Skype for our master programmes. Please indicate your preference when you complete the online application.
Interview dates
There is usually a selection of dates to choose from, with quotas allocated for each date. You can select a preferred date and time slot for your admission interview during the online application process. In order to still benefit from the full selection of dates, we recommend that you submit your application in good time.
Get an overview of the dates for your programme.
After you have successfully completed your online application, your application will be checked for completeness and correctness. As soon as this process is completed, we will inform you by e-mail and confirm the date for your admission interview. We will send you the Microsoft Teams Meeting Link in a separate e-mail a few days before the application interview date.
