"After completing the bachelor's program 'Marketing and Electronic Business' at the FH Upper Austria Campus Steyr and enjoying the advantages of the university in Steyr, as well as discovering my love for Steyr, the decision for this master's program 'Digital Business Management' was made quickly. I could deepen my acquired knowledge, intensify and expand relationships and networks.

Crucial for my decision were the many experts and the practical, relevant topics covered in the program."
