Digital Marketing & Sales - Profile
Graduates of the bachelor program Digital Marketing & Sales are able to…
- collect necessary information for the development of digital marketing strategies and carry out relevant analyses,
- develop digital marketing concepts,
- plan and implement campaigns in the field of digital communication and digital sales,
- measure the success of digital marketing activities and sales strategies
Building on the competences gained in the bachelor's program Business, students of Digital Marketing & Sales acquire an additional specific set of competences in the following areas:
- Analysis & measurement of digital marketing activities
- Strategic Digital Marketing
- Operational Marketing
- Tools and methods in digital marketing and sales
Particular importance is also attached to the development of methodological competence, with a focus on analysis, problem-solving skills and the use of relevant software (e.g. for the creation of advertising materials or the analysis of campaigns). Since the entire curriculum is taught in English, foreign language skills are also promoted and students from different nations are addressed. The international and intercultural composition of students offers further opportunities to develop relevant social skills.
Graduates of the Bachelor's program Digital Marketing & Sales have knowledge in the following areas:
- Fundamentals of economics and business administration
- Bookkeeping and accounting

- Approaches to marketing analysis and measurement
- Strategic digital marketing and sales

The acquisition of methodological and professional competences takes place in study modules.

What students should bring to their studies:
- Interest in economic topics.
- The ability to work in teams and to lead them.
- Language and communication skills.
- Responsible social behaviour.
- Fun with international and intercultural challenges.
- Interest in innovative technologies
Significant importance is attached to the social and personal skills of students. These "soft skills" concern, for example, the topics of communication and conflict management, presentation techniques or cooperation and collaboration. Within the study program, students work in changing group compositions on case studies and practical tasks, as well as in the 4th semester on an extensive project (basic module: project management). This develops and promotes important social skills (ability to work in a team, ability to resolve conflicts, communication skills) and personal skills (especially the ability to reflect on one's own role and performance in teams).
Job & Career
The core modules of the Bachelor's degree program Business open up many job opportunities for graduates in the areas of controlling, finance and accounting, manufacturing and logistics management, human resource development and management, marketing, and project management.
Within the bachelor program Digital Marketing & Sales, students also acquire the necessary skills and practical experience (e.g. through projects and the compulsory professional internship in the sixth semester) to qualify for the following functions in the field of digital marketing and sales:
- Brand manager
- Content marketing manager
- Social media manager
- Event marketing manager
- International marketing manager
- Performance marketing manager
- CRM manager
- Sales manager
Within these functions, there is a distinction between entry-level ("junior") positions and managerial ("senior") positions. Typically, graduates of a bachelor's degree program first fill "junior" positions in order to assume management responsibility after a few years of professional and industry experience. This also applies to the graduates of the bachelor program Digital Marketing & Sales.
Successful completion of the bachelor's degree program in Digital Marketing & Sales entitles students to enter one of the CUAS School of Management's master's degree programs. In addition, completion of the bachelor's program also enables students to start an equivalent master's program at other universities or universities of applied sciences.
Practice-oriented business education & profile-building specializations
SPECIFIC KEY AND FUTURE SKILLS
The Bachelor study program in Management offers a compact, practice-oriented basic education in economics. In addition, there is a strong focus on teaching key and future skills tailored to the respective branches of study (6 German-language and 2 English-language) from the first semester onwards. This profile-building specialization accounts for more than half of the total course content. Current topics such as sustainability, digitality, internationality and diversity are an integral part of many modules.
PRACTICAL RELEVANCE
The high practical relevance of the study program is ensured by close cooperation with regional, national and international companies as well as the use of experienced lecturers from industry, business and institutions, who bring current topics and new developments from professional practice into the study program or can also be experienced in excursions. The students' transfer skills are strengthened by working on specific and current practical tasks.
Degree program management full-time: modern study time model
In the full-time study program, the modules are divided into two semesters with an intermediate or final examination week. This enables focused learning and makes it easier for students to plan the time required to complete their examinations.

Campus & Arrival
Villach
The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.
Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.
In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.
Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
