Executive MBA Digital Leadership

The part-time EMBA programme has a modular structure, and teaching takes place in the form of blended learning (a combination of distance learning and attendance units).

Each module consists of 3 phases:

1. Online phase: In this phase, you will acquire fundamental knowledge about the subject in a self-directed manner by referring to basic literature and learning videos. Participants can access the TU Graz "TeachCenter" learning platform in order to ask questions and exchange information with lecturers and other course participants. Scope: 1.5 ECTS 
    
2. Attendance phase: In the attendance phase, you have an opportunity to discuss the acquired knowledge is discussed, reflect upon it, further deepen this knowledge, and to apply it to case study examples (an attendance block is held at TU Graz every two to three months, each time from Monday to Friday). Scope: 1.5 ECTS. Students who cannot be on site for professional reasons can participate in the lectures via the video conferencing system.
    
3. Transfer phase: This phase is carried out individually at your own or a chosen company. In this phase, you have the opportunity to apply your acquired knowledge in the context of your company, fulfil a company task, or work to solve a company problem. Scope: 2 ECTS

You benefit from:

• A combination of online teaching and attendance units (blended learning approach)
  Each module is prepared for self-directed learning, enabling you to choose the time and place of study, in an online phase. The attendance phases enable you to deepen the acquired knowledge, e.g. by working on practical case studies.
• Transfer projects
  In these projects, you have the opportunity to tackle an operational task or address an issue that is relevant to you and to apply the knowledge you have already acquired.
• Individual or customised continuing education
  Choose a specialisation that suits you as well as in-service transfer projects in order to acquire specific expertise that you can apply in your everyday professional life. By carrying out and writing a master's thesis, you have the opportunity to address current professional challenges and to develop solutions.
• State-of-the-art scientific knowledge
  Research results from TU Graz and its cooperation partners form the foundation of the programme. For this reason, you have first-hand access to expert knowledge that is relevant for the future.
• Networking and learning from the peer group
  In targeted networking and dialogue events that combine examples from practice and science (e.g. Onboarding Conference, Midterm Conference), you have the opportunity not only to exchange professional and interdisciplinary ideas with the other participants, but also to form direct contacts with experts.

The Executive MBA in "Digital Leadership" has been developed for executives from various sectors who have several years of leadership and management experience and who would like to take the next step in their career or to continue to develop in their existing position against the backdrop of digital change, becoming more proficient in the broad subject area of developing and applying digital transformation strategies (incl. leadership skills).
