What our students and alumni say about the Executive MBA Digital Transformation & Data Science

The Executive MBA in Digital Transformation and Data Science has been an enriching journey filled with both challenges and rewarding experiences. Networking with like-minded professionals from various industries has led to impactful relationships. Through this program, I gained valuable insights into Data Science, Data Governance, and Digital Transformation. The international immersion was a personal highlight for me, as it opened my eyes to the latest AI technologies and trends in a way that felt genuinely inspiring. The skills and knowledge I’ve acquired have been instrumental in helping me stay ahead in the fast-changing IT world, and empowering me to effectively tackle innovative challenges with my customers.

My MBA in Digital Transformation & Data Science gave me the three things that I had hoped for: state-of-the-art knowledge & skills, insights into different industries, and a network of professionals. Above that, it provided me with a different perspective on my career & opportunities, my personal development and what leadership means in today's world.

Through the experience of countless projects, I have come to recognize that my passion lies in putting digital systems in place that balance human needs with technological requirements.

The MBA has undoubtedly been an accelerant from my promotion of Head of Customer Services to Managing Director.

I appreciated the excellent mix of lessons of up-to-date and state-of-the-art knowledge, interesting discussions on the topics with very qualified peers from different domains, experiences and management levels and the variety of networking opportunities, organized by WU or privately. This certainly broadened my horizon which I admit had become narrow after many years of working in a rather restricted environment. I attended the program during an educational leave and at the same time I was looking for a career change. I realized that the MBA experience turned out to be a booster for my professional prospects. With the advancing of the program, I gained optimism and self-confidence and finally found the perfect new challenge I think I would not have had the opportunity to take without the MBA degree.

Businesses run on data, and data offers little value without analytics. The MBA in Digital Transformation & Data Science gave me the necessary knowledge for a leading innovative position in data governance and analytics. With this knowledge, I aim to turn the vast amount of business data into insights, predictions, and actions.

Little did I know in what I’m enrolling into when I pursued the MBA in Digital Transformation & Data Science program. And that is how it should be. Apart from the academic learning, the biggest takeaway for me personally was working with my peers with various backgrounds.

Analysing situations from different educational and professional background, enhanced my professional expertise. This also provided me with outside of the box approach for my professional challenges and opportunities.

Additionally, the learning approach with case studies allowed me to put myself in shoes of other people responsible for leading and creating strategies for various companies.
