Digital4Business Shortlisted for Prestigious E-Learning Award at QS Reimagine Education 2025
We are delighted to announce that the Digital4Business Joint Master’s Degree in Advanced Digital Skills within European Companies has been shortlisted for the E-Learning Award at the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025 — a global showcase of innovation in education.
With over 1,600 entries submitted from institutions and initiatives worldwide, and more than 800 international judges involved in the evaluation process, being ranked among the top 20% of all submissions is a significant achievement. This recognition highlights the strength, relevance, and innovative approach that define the Digital4Business programme.
What sets Digital4Business apart?
The programme is co-designed and delivered by four leading European institutions:
- National College of Ireland (Ireland)
- Linköping University (Sweden)
- Università di Bologna – Alma Mater Studiorum (Italy)
- NOVA IMS – Information Management School (Portugal)
This unique cross-border collaboration blends academic excellence with real-world relevance, offering learners a truly international experience. Students develop advanced digital and business strategy skills through a curriculum that is deeply rooted in the needs of European companies navigating digital transformation.
The result? A Master’s programme that is future-focused, industry-connected, and designed to empower professionals to lead in an era of rapid technological change.
A timely recognition: Mind the Gap – It’s Getting Wider
The theme for this year’s QS Reimagine Education Awards — “Mind the Gap – It’s Getting Wider” — serves as a timely reminder of the widening divide in global higher education.
“Some institutions are seizing new opportunities, rewriting the rules, and future-proofing their models. Others are hesitating, weighed down by outdated structures and slow-moving policies. The choice is stark: evolve or be left behind.”
Digital4Business exemplifies the former — an innovative, adaptable programme responding proactively to the evolving digital skills landscape and labour market needs.
Thank you to our community
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has helped shape, launch, and support the Digital4Business programme — from academic teams and industry partners to European policy stakeholders. This nomination is a shared achievement and a moment of pride for all involved.
