Digital Entrepreneurship

Study mode

The Master’s degree programme in Digital Entrepreneurship is organised in such a way that it can be combined with part-time employment or the founding of a start-up. The on-campus lectures take place from Monday to Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and students also work on their business ideas and projects in self-study or together.

Thanks to the deliberately limited number of study places, our Master’s programme offers an exceptionally high student-teacher ratio. Small cohorts and working in small groups enable intensive, individualised support and a practical, personal learning experience.

Self Study

You will not only learn in the lecture theatre, but also beyond. Each semester, you complete courses totalling 30 ECTS credits (one ECTS credit corresponds to around 25 to 30 hours of work) – that’s around 750 to 900 hours of work. Around a third of this time is spent in class: Teaching takes place at FH JOANNEUM, partly online or during excursions. The remaining time is spent on self-study, preparing for and following up on lectures, project work and preparing for examinations.

This Master’s degree programme therefore places great emphasis on self-directed group work in multidisciplinary teams. Attendance times at the UAS are deliberately kept to a minimum in order to strengthen the entrepreneurial mindset. The focus is therefore on self-organisation skills and entrepreneurial, proactive thinking and action. You will be accompanied by mentors from the degree programme who will provide support and targeted encouragement during the work process.

Attendance

In principle you are required to attend all lectures and classes at FH JOANNEUM. The relevant provisions of the FH JOANNEUM Study and Examination Regulations also apply as amended.
