Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the methods and peculiarities of Industry 4.0 in developing business studies at the University of Applied Sciences. State-of-the-art technologies such as cloud computing, additive manufacturing, advanced robotics, augmented/ virtual reality, big data analysis and artificial intelligence are applying their concepts in higher education in order to meet the specific needs of each learner with acquired competencies in higher education. This paper analyses the scientific literature of Industry 4.0 and related topics, presents the empirical study which is focused on analysis of the learners’ expectations and University of Applied Sciences curriculum. It shows that many students are willing to enroll in new technological courses. The quantitative study is presenting the main novelty of the research and is intended to create recommendations of how to incorporate Industry 4.0 elements in developing business studies at the University of Applied Sciences. Those practical implications could be useful for higher education institutions and are focused on practical value.
