Marcel Hinze
B.A. Digitales Verwaltungsmanagement

"I chose 'Digitales Verwaltungsmanagement' to make a difference, to drive forward digitalisation in Germany and to use the skills I learned during my vocational training as an IT specialist for myself and my fellow human beings. It was and is important to me to drive our country forward, increase the effectiveness of work in the administration and initiate a rethink towards digitalisation."

"I want to help bridge the gap between citizens and the state, and this degree gives us the right tools to do this. The degree programme is also still very young, so we students have many opportunities to help shape it. My career plans were only formed during my studies, because I got something here that I hadn't known before: The feeling of working in a place where I'm really needed."

Study modern administration

In this degree programme, you will learn how to implement and manage public welfare-oriented projects in public authorities, model new digital administrative processes close to citizens and optimise existing processes, manage IT systems effectively, plan IT structures sustainably and involve people in changes.

In addition to administrative management and relevant digital skills, you will learn about the legal framework for the provision of public services. You will acquire relevant knowledge in the areas of IT, public procurement and data protection law as well as the basics of administrative, civil and contract law.

Study contents

Management

From project management to leadership: all the basics of administrative management are covered here. Practical relevance is always present and student projects are the order of the day.

Computer science

It all starts with bits and bytes and ends with interfaces and sensors programmed in-house. Our IT is application-oriented and tailored to digitalisation.

Law

We stay digital: In addition to general principles of administrative and civil law, you can expect exciting legal specialisations, for example in IT, procurement and contract law.

Course of study

Each of your six semesters begins with a four-week practical phase with your local authority practice partner. As you will always be at the same training centre, you will become a real member of the team, establish close contacts and grow into your future role. 

You will meet your fellow students every semester at the university, where you will learn the theoretical basics together and work on projects. Towards the end of the semester, you can show what you have learnt in your exams before enjoying your well-earned lecture-free time.

In the final semester, you have four weeks immediately after the practical phase to put the finishing touches to your Bachelor's thesis. After your final theory phase, you will then go back into practice. Congratulations, you are now an expert in digital administration and can start your career straight away!
