Learn How to Bring Digital Products to Life
A successful digital product isn’t just about technology. It needs to solve a real problem.
Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to analyze user and business needs, define and prioritize product features, and collaborate with development teams to turn ideas into concrete solutions.
You’ll develop skills in:
- digital product management;
- IT business analysis;
- project management and agile methodologies;
- programming and application development;
- databases and data governance;
- cybersecurity and information security;
- data-driven decision-making;
- team management and collaboration.
You’ll learn to understand both the technology behind a project and the business challenges it needs to address.
From Idea to Product
Imagine that a company wants to create a new app. Before the first line of code is written, several questions need to be answered: Who is it for? What problem will it solve? Which features should be prioritized? How should the development team work? How do you know whether the product actually meets users’ needs?
That’s where roles such as Digital Product Manager and Product Owner come in.
You’ll learn how to act as a bridge between users, clients, technical teams and stakeholders. You’ll contribute to defining a product’s vision, prioritizing features and ensuring that the product evolves according to users’ and business needs.
A Hands-On Learning Experience
Throughout your studies, you’ll develop your skills through courses and projects that allow you to put your knowledge into practice.
You’ll start by building a strong foundation in computer science through courses such as Introduction to Programming, Applied Mathematics for Computer Science and Computer Architecture. You’ll then deepen your knowledge through object-oriented programming, databases, web development, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
As you progress through the program, you’ll also explore the strategic side of IT through courses in team management, project management, data governance, project methodologies, data-driven decision-making and simulation.
Your training will culminate in an integrated skills project and a work placement, giving you the opportunity to apply your skills in a professional environment.
