As part of the new partnership, neue fische will take over two courses in the new ESMT Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence starting in September. Students will be taught by experienced professionals working in the fields of web development, data analytics, and machine learning. 

“We are very excited to partner with the #1 business school in Germany and to be at the forefront of innovation in the university education sector in Germany,” says Dalia Das, founder and CEO of neue fische. “The cooperation confirms the quality of our programs, and the practice-oriented learning content will optimally prepare students for their career entry after university graduation and complement their knowledge in an application-oriented way.”  

“In the US, for example, collaborations between business schools and bootcamp providers are already firmly established in the curriculum, whereas in Germany this concept is still largely unknown. Our cooperation with neue fische supports our commitment to provide our students with a sound education regarding the latest technologies,” says Roland Siegers, director external engagement and early careers at ESMT. 

The cooperation is part of a larger effort by the two institutions to drive the digital transformation in Germany, strengthen the response to the shortage of skilled workers, and help improve educational and career opportunities in the digital field.
