Overview

The BSc in Management with Digital Technologies is designed for students who want to understand how business, management, and digital innovation work together in modern organizations. The programme combines business foundations with digital technologies, information systems, analytics, innovation, strategy, and AI-related business applications. Students build their knowledge progressively, from core business and quantitative skills in the first two years to digital systems, innovation management, AI for business, strategic decision-making, and project work in the later years. The programme also includes an Internship and Industry Project capstone, giving students practical workplace exposure and an opportunity to apply their learning to real organizational challenges. It is especially suited to students who want a business degree with strong digital relevance rather than a purely technical computing pathway. Graduates are prepared for careers in digital transformation, business analysis, innovation, information systems, strategy, and technology-enabled management. The programme is delivered within Dubai Business School, which is AACSB accredited, and in dual-degree pathway with LSE and UoL.
