The Master's in Digital Transformation (MDT) delivers the competencies to shape the digital revolution. With the MDT Master’s programme, we focus on the complete design flow and technology stack for digital solutions – especially software & cloud technologies.

Our graduates are trained to work in very dynamic, diverse, and agile international teams aiming for solutions that benefit both society and industry.
The three pillars of the MDT competence model are as follows:
• The curriculum in software engineering with the relevant processes, methods, and tools to develop complex software solutions
• Design and deploy cross-domain digital systems
• A strong focus on user-centred development processes that involve users as co-producers.
Our students have key advantages by studying MDT at FH Dortmund:
• Wide research and job opportunities are available for our students and many career opportunities are open to our graduates in German and international companies, e.g. in the Ruhr Valley industrial region. Our graduates work at Bosch, Siemens, Volkswagen AG, Daimler, to name a few.

• Research opportunities in our Research Institute for the Digital Transformation (IDiAL)
• Scholarship opportunities and dormitory access
• Hands-on experience with practical approaches
