The first Bachelor’s degree in Management dedicated to Digital Management in Italy. Our Bachelor's Degree in Digital Management is your chance to change your future.

Our Mission

• Prepare a selected group of highly motivated students for the new jobs that firms are offering.
• Provide them with the new skills that a fast-changing world is demanding.
• Offer students opportunities to develop new business initiatives.

Digital transformation is rapidly changing the economy and the society we live in. It is redefining business models and is radically changing the competitive context in which companies operate.

These societal and economic changes affect labor markets and give rise to new jobs and new roles within organizations. It is therefore imperative for universities and business schools to prepare students for these new jobs and roles.

This is why Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in collaboration with H-FARM are offering a new Bachelor’s Degree (BA) in Digital Management.

Content

This bachelor’s degree course, the first dedicated to Digital Management in Italy, is taught completely in English and provides students with knowledge and skills that are designed to fit the demand of today’s organizations.

Courses are highly interdisciplinary and span diverse fields such as management, computer science, economics, and law to deepen the students’ understanding of digital transformation and equip them with the instruments to exploit the opportunities brought about by digital technologies.

This course has been designed by Ca’ Foscari University, one of the oldest business schools in Europe, in cooperation with H-FARM Education, the H-FARM's branch that aims to design and implement academic programs that provide students with the skills needed to face current professional challenges.

Learning experience

The course will provide students with an innovative learning experience. Projects works, development of soft skills, and interactions with a community of startuppers are unique features in the academic environment.

Students have access to a series of curriculum enhancing courses that focus on a variety of topics, from public speaking to project management, from venture capital to social media marketing and much more.

Throughout the three-year course, they will learn to assess their personal skill set and to develop their own learning agenda, to acquire knowledge with autonomy, leadership, good judgment, empathy, communication, and negotiation skills. All this will allow students to decipher the needs of a firm and concretely put into practice their technical knowledge in developing innovative entrepreneurial projects.

Bootcamps (immersive workshops), company visits, conferences, lectures, and talks by internationally renowned professors, entrepreneurs and top managers contribute to making this Bachelor’s Degree program a truly unique course of study.
