Digital transformation involves far more than the use of new software or the automation of individual processes. It is fundamentally changing how companies and administrations develop strategies, design business models and organize workflows. The Scheer School of Digital Science meets these challenges by combining current research with practical expertise. Its offerings range from certificates to study programs – from artificial intelligence and data science to digital leadership. The courses follow the blended learning approach, a mixture of online and face-to-face phases. The certificates accredited by Saarland University are flexible and can be adapted to the specific needs of companies.
In the second quarter of 2025, the newly founded school will start with four-week mini-certificate courses in May and June:
Digitalization is shaping our working world. The “Foundations in Future Skills: Digital Tools for Agile Workplaces” course teaches key digital tools and methods to improve self-organization and collaboration in agile teams. The course starts on May 12, 2025.
The certificate course “Understanding and using artificial intelligence” (Foundations in AI: Transforming Workflows) starts on June 2, 2025. It introduces the basics of AI, compares classic approaches with modern machine learning techniques and highlights ethical and social aspects. At the same time, it shows how AI makes work processes more efficient.
The offer is aimed at university graduates, professionals with professional experience and young talent who want to understand and apply AI, as well as managers who want to prepare their teams for the digital future. Young professionals who want to advance their careers with digital strategies and AI also benefit from the courses.
All Scheer School certificates are based on ECTS points and are fully creditable for programs such as the Master’s degree program “Digital Sciences for Transformation”. The mini-certificates each comprise 3 ECTS points. The participation fee per certificate is 2,000 euros.
