Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation

The Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation is unique in Spain, and has been designed by La Salle Campus Barcelona with the collaboration of the tech company incubator at La Salle Technova, providing a comprehensive experience in entrepreneurship and digital business.

This official, 4-year degree is taught 100% in English and is designed both as an accelerator for each student’s personal projects in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation, and as a means to prepare them to be part of a larger project or consolidated start-up.

These are some of the differentiating features of our Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation:

• Develop skills such as entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity, which will prepare you to lead the digital transformation of society.
• Through a practical approach, you will acquire the necessary capabilities to start your own business or to work in the innovation department of another company.
• Personal Projects with Mentoring & Coaching: in parallel to the academic modules, you’ll be testing your interests through projects outside the classroom. To support you in this project, you’ll have master mentoring sessions with gurus from different fields and mentors who are successful professionals, helping you make your project a reality. You’ll also have access to professional coaching sessions to prepare you to be a Business Leader and manage teams.
• International Experiences: The degree is taught 100% in English and on campus, our students work in an international environment in multicultural teams with diverse groups made up of students from a range of departments. Study tours to Silicon Valley and Asia, and a global exchange programme where you can go visit the major business hubs of the world, their technology parks and get to know other cultures as you gain inspiration for your project.
• Access to seed capital: At La Salle we believe in our students. Students experience the realities of putting a business idea into practice, and the opportunity to start a business even while studying. We know, though, that this isn't always easy. At La Salle, we help you to find financing for your project through our Business Angels network.
• Customize your degree: during the third and fourth year, you will be able to choose your area of focus based on your interests, as well as market trends and needs.
• Learning by Challenge Methodology: Our students get the chance to use our Digital Business Lab to create their ideas and solve the challenges posed by teachers, all while participating in activities in other contexts (workshops, events, visits to inspiring businesses, etc.). We believe the role of the learner is to lead their own learning process by debating, defending their ideas and applying the contents of each course to their various projects.
