Annotation
Leadership in modern, international organisations is important and is becoming increasingly so! In the newly designed Leadership and Psychology (MA) degree course at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, you will learn to understand psychological functions and will be equipped to analyse, develop and implement fundamental processes of collaboration and leadership within an organisation. By "fine-tuning" your personal leadership skills, we will enable you to recognise and develop employees’ skills and to provide them with guidance. Your personal and professional skills will be developed in specially designed individual coaching programmes that are part of your studies for more than one year. In addition, you will gradually explore and develop the leadership concepts and methods you can use in your own leadership practices and in the context of your work in the field of human resource development and consulting.
The Leadership and Psychology (MA) degree course qualifies you for a wide range of leadership and managerial roles as well as for roles in human resource management, where you will select executives, promote their development and guide them throughout the process. Potential areas of employment and work can be found in line management roles within companies: e.g. human resources, business development, marketing. But you can also work in the broad field of management consulting: e.g. in change management for merger and acquisition projects.
The Master’s degree programme in Leadership and Psychology is offered with a standard period of study of three or four semesters. Admission to the degree programme with a three-semester standard period of study takes place in the winter semester. Admission to the degree programme with a four-semester standard period of study takes place in the summer semester.
