During the practical phases of the dual study program for a Bachelor's degree in Digital Administration, you will work in various departments such as the Human Resources and Organization department, the IT Service Center and the Finance department. You will be the interface between information technology and administration and develop user-related IT solutions for the organization and optimization of administrative processes. In addition, you will realize IT projects up to the implementation of IT solutions and the support of IT systems. You will therefore be directly involved in many work processes and work in a service-oriented manner.
At the time of starting your studies, you should have completed your entrance qualification for a university of applied sciences, general university entrance qualification or an educational level recognized as equivalent by higher education law. Your strengths should lie in the areas of German, mathematics and IT.
Your nationality should be German or that of a member state of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. You should be no more than 40 years old at the start of your training (exceptions exist according to the German Soldiers' Pensions Act).
During the practical phases, you will be assigned to departments of the university administration or to central facilities that participate in flexible working hours, i.e. you can determine the start and end of your daily working hours yourself within the framework of the applicable pre- and post-flexitime hours andthe applicable core working hours. Note, however, that it makes sense for you to be present when your instructor is also on site.
The Bachelor of Arts - Digital Administration program lasts three years (6 semesters). It consists of specialized theoretical study sections at the Hessian University of Public Management and Security, Kassel Department, and specialized practical study sections in the university administration.
The Digital Administration degree program is modular. The 16 modules with a total of 180 credits each conclude with an examination. Examinations take the form of written examinations, presentations, term papers, oral examinations and a field report.
The focus of the study program is in the areas of:
- Digitization and processes
- Computer science and technology
- Administration and law
- People and management as well as
- scientific work
From the second to the fifth semester, the theoretical study sections are interlinked with practical studies (internships) totaling one year.
During the course of study, students are required to complete a project in the third and fourth semesters.
In the elective modules of the fifth semester, courses from the fields of "Computer Science, Technology, Digitization" and "Administrative Sciences" are offered.
In the sixth semester, students are required to write a thesis in which they work on a practical problem from one of their fields of work. The development of the thesis is interlocked with an internship. After submission of the thesis, the program offers an internship that introduces students to their profession until the colloquium (oral examination for the thesis).
During the entire period of study, you will be a civil servant with a revocable appointment and will receive a candidate's salary in accordance with the Hessian Salary Act. In addition to a basic amount, a family allowance may be paid, depending on your family status. There are also capital-forming benefits and allowances for private health insurance.
Dual students must be able to work carefully and accurately, need IT knowledge and analytical skills, for example when they need to create evaluations or understand facts. They should also be willing to learn.
Reliability, commitment, sociability, a sense of responsibility, diligence and discretion are also welcome qualities in this profession.
What do you deal with in your dual study program?
I deal with the legal basics that are needed in administration. However, the focus is on project management and IT topics. This content is interlinked during my studies so that I learn how to implement change processes within administration and IT.
Why did you choose a dual study program and this one in particular?
I decided on the apprenticeship because it deals with many different topics and you get to see the bigger picture. At the University of Kassel, you are also part of a large team, which contributes to people being able to work and study at the university, which for me is a meaningful activity.
What would you like to pass on to others?
Digital administration is an exciting but also challenging field, so it pays to keep at it.
Ask yourself beforehand if you ...
- like to work with IT systems.
- like structure, organization and rules.
- are able to think outside the box.
or if you ...
- don't like to deal with different people.
- find EDP, specifications and administration boring.
- do not want to work in an office.
