Introduction
In the digital economy, organizations are no longer isolated islands, but part of networks of users, technology, and software suppliers. Their shared ambitions, innovative strength, and efficiency not only determine their own success, but also accelerate transformation in sectors and society. In this playing field, there is a need for leaders who can connect business and IT, understand digital ecosystems, and translate technology into concrete value.
The Executive Master's in Information Management and Digital Transformations (MIMDT) helps you oversee digital strategy, architecture, data, security, and AI and manage them coherently from both a user and supplier perspective. You will work with the latest insights at this intersection and learn how to use them to accelerate digital value creation in your organization or customer environment.
This master's program is structured as a flexible, modular part-time program for experienced professionals in IT, digital, and business. You will take compact modules in a blended learning environment: a combination of online live sessions, physical class days, and self-study that can be easily planned alongside a demanding job. From the very first module, you will apply what you have learned to your own digital transformation cases, so that you will see noticeable results in your practice during the program. Within clear frameworks, you and your learning path advisor choose the order and pace that suit your work and personal schedule. Whether you prefer to follow a continuous program with a fixed group or want to vary the pace along the way, you are in control of your route. This allows you to work step by step toward a recognized MSc degree in information management and digital transformations, without compromising on content and depth.

Why this program
What makes this program unique?
- Strategic depth with direct practical impact
You will connect business, IT, and digital strategy - from architecture and data to security, AI, and governance—and learn to substantiate choices at the management and board level. From the very first module, you will apply what you have learned to your own digital transformation cases, so that each module visibly contributes to better decision-making and implementation. - Flexible, modular master's program at your own pace
You will follow compact modules in a blended format, with room to spread out, pause, or accelerate alongside major projects and peak periods in your work. Within clear frameworks, you can tailor the order and pace to your role, agenda, and career path. - Up-to-date professional knowledge in an integrated learning journey
You will work with the latest insights at the intersection of digital strategy, enterprise architecture, data, security, and AI. Together, the modules form a continuous learning path toward better decisions about digital ecosystems, platforms, and transformation programs. - Personal learning path and guidance
Together with your learning path supervisor, you will put together a learning path that suits your context: as a leader in a user organization, within the government, or as a supplier/consultant. You will learn in a group of professionals who recognize the same digital transition issues, but from different perspectives. - Recognized master's degree with interim certification (microcredentials)
You will earn 60 ECTS credits within an NVAO-accredited master's program and graduate with a recognized MSc degree. For each completed module, you will receive a digital certification (microcredential) that allows you to demonstrate your mastery of digital themes to (future) employers or clients.
What will the program bring you?
Holistic view of digital ecosystems: you see how users, suppliers, platforms, and data flows are connected, what role your organization plays in this, and where you can intervene to create more digital value.
Stronger control over digital transformation: you link strategy, architecture, data, and change so that you can steer your digital transformation programs in a focused manner - from vision and roadmap to portfolio, governance, and implementation.
Deep insight into digital value creation: you understand the impact of technological choices on business models, performance, risks, and compliance, and learn to weigh these factors in decision-making at management and board level.
Concrete transformation plan for your practice: you develop a current issue from your organization or customer environment into a substantiated transformation or implementation plan, including a roadmap, stakeholders, and preconditions for successful implementation.
