The second cycle Degree Programme in Digital transformation management responds to the strong demand of production sectors for interdisciplinary professionals with competencies in IT and economics who can join public and private organisations to implement, accelerate and govern the digital transformation of processes and business models.
In particular, digital transformation managers possess organic competencies in all digital and IT sectors, with competencies in financial, economic and managerial sectors used to tackle digital transformation issues with a holistic vision. Digital transformations are able to work transversally in all practical fields, fostering innovation in widely diversified areas.
The specific objective of the programme is achieved through a curriculum organised into three main learning phases:
1. Completion of basic knowledge:including elective course units depending on the students' background;
2. Acquisition of core competencies: including mandatory course units for all students;
3. Specialisation in specific fields of innovation: including elective course units chosen by the students according to their own inclination and the type of specific professional figure or industrial sector they prefer;
These course units focus on the following areas of learning:
a. IT: providing knowledge and competencies in the design, development and management of computer systems with particular reference to the technologies and systems guiding corporate technological innovation. This field is developing continuously, and today includes issues linked to data science, IoT and artificial intelligence;
b. Business-economics: providing knowledge and competencies in the analysis and design of business models, monitoring and control of corporate dynamics, management and improvement of business performance, organisational coordination and the development of business and analytical skills.
The above core objectives are achieved through a curriculum including laboratory work in almost all course units in addition to lectures, facilitating the application of theoretical/methodological learning to concrete cases.
