About this programme

This degree programme links management research and theory in a unique way by combining practical specialisations with interdisciplinary theory relevant to different professional fields. In addition to soft skills, students acquire skills to apply the theoretical teaching in practice in case studies and projects. The programme (120 ECTS) covers a standard period of study of four semesters and consists of seven core courses (35 ECTS), eleven electives (55 ECTS) and the Master's thesis (30 ECTS). While the core courses ensure the teaching of the holistic perspective of management, the electives enable students to specialise in one or more application areas of management. The chosen specialisation serves the students to sharpen their profile with regard to a desired future professional field. Within the seven core courses, four courses within the area of "management foundations", one course within the area of "finance and controlling" and two courses within the area of "case studies, projects, presentation & team skills" have to be completed. In the eleven elective courses, students can choose courses from the following content areas: strategic management & International business, value creation & digital transformation, entrepreneurship & innovation, financial management, health care management, marketing management, supply chain management, sustainable & responsible management, management research, and organisational behaviour & human performance management.
