European New School of Digital Studies (ENS)

Digital Entrepreneurship: Shaping Future Society​

The European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) is a cross-border, international teaching and research institution of the European University Viadrina with a focus on digitalization. It is based at the Collegium Polonicum in Słubice. The ENS was founded with the vision of combining economics, law, social science and technical expertise in computer and technology sciences to meet the challenges of digital transformation. At the ENS, scientists conduct transdisciplinary research, teach about the challenges and opportunities of technological innovations, and belong to an international community that wants to help shape Europe's digital future.

The ENS study concept is based on close collaboration between students and academic staff in teaching, team-based projects and everyday work. A dedicated co-working space, innovative teaching methods and small course sizes enable students to develop and advance their own projects. In addition, academic and non-academic mentors help students plan and realize new project ideas and support them in building their personal network.

In 2020, the ENS was officially opened and launched a first German-Polish double degree program, the Master of Digital Entrepreneurship (MoDE), which is offered in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań. The MoDE is an interdisciplinary study program with a project focus and an individualized curriculum, taught entirely in English. Five module groups teach the fundamentals and advanced knowledge in the methodological and practical elements of digitalization.
