New paths for digital skills of the future
With two new modular continuing education programs - the Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) Digital Leadership in IT and the MAS Leadership in Cybersecurity - the School of Business at the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland is responding to the urgent requirements of digital transformation with the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI).
The programs were developed to address the acute skills shortage in the IT sector and strengthen the competitiveness of the Swiss economy. While the MAS Leadership in Cybersecurity specifically addresses the growing threat of cyber attacks, the MAS Digital Leadership in IT focuses on promoting leadership skills for digital transformation. Both programmes are tailored to the future skills of specialists and managers and their organizations.
The new programs will sharpen the skills profiles of graduates in a rapidly changing and challenging digital world. The special feature of the new MAS programs is their modular structure, which allows graduates to book them flexibly.
