Profile

The interdisciplinary master’s programme Transforming Digitality (TRADY) aims at imparting 21st century skills. This includes extensive digital competences as well as creativity, communication and collaboration skills. As a graduate, you are able to support, shape and coordinate digital transformation processes in businesses and organisations from different specialist perspectives. At the same time, you can critically reflect on phenomena of digitality and digitalisation.

To this end, the programme places particular emphasis on more agile and project-oriented forms of learning. Teaching content is mostly interdisciplinary and offered by the Faculties of Architecture, Design, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechanical and Process Engineering, Media and Social Sciences and Cultural Studies. This allows for innovative forms of teaching, course formats and contents that are highly relevant later in professional life. 

TRADY is not a purely technical study programme. It qualifies graduates to work in positions at the interfaces between concept, implementation and technology and promotes key skills such as agile working, digital learning and collaboration techniques. It also addresses economic aspects and modern leadership topics.

Although module names are in English, the main language of instruction is German. However, English language skills are indispensable for understanding relevant technical literature



Career Options

Whether at a large-scale enterprise, a medium-sized business, a start-up or a social welfare organisation – the master’s programme Transforming Digitality enables you to help shape digital transformation processes in various fields and from different perspectives. In addition, it qualifies you as a mediator between tech specialists and subject matter experts in interdisciplinary teams
