The EIT Digital Master School is a European initiative designed to
turn Europe into a global leader in ICT innovation, fostering a
partnership between leading companies, research centres and
technical universities in Europe.
The school offers two-year programmes where you can choose two
universities in two different European institutes to build a curriculum
of your choice based on your skills and interest. We offer double
