Our study guarantee: start your studies online or on campus
As an educational institution, we want to ensure that our students can start studying with us no matter the circumstance and we want to give you every chance to progress with your education and build a successful career. At GISMA we want to assure you that there will be an option for you to study and start your programme on time regardless of whether the campus is open or closed.

Students will learn in a hybrid format, which is a live learning experience and allows for interaction with the tutor, as well as the ability to work in student groups. Students will then have the option to complete the programme on-campus in Germany as soon as possible.

Your future career
With a diverse skillset in data science, AI, and digital business you might choose to join a leading data or technology company such as Google, IBM, or Apple. Alternatively, you would be perfectly equipped to contribute to the innovative start-up culture in Berlin, either by driving growth in an up-and-coming enterprise or by founding your own company. As you will have acquired valuable digital business competencies, you’ll also have the option to venture into a different field of business, such as marketing or project management, and work in a data-driven role.
You might decide to deepen your knowledge with a postgraduate degree in the same field, such as our MSc Data Science, AI, and Digital Business. If you are interested in learning more about general business, you might consider studying our Global MBA or MSc International Business Management.
To help support you in your future career, this degree includes a Career Development semester, in collaboration with the GISMA Career Centre. This semester is part of your third year and will help you prepare for a career that makes the most of all the skills you have learnt throughout your programme.
