Annotation

Do you not want to commit to a specific industry or company function too early in your Master’s degree? The Master’s degree course in Markets and Companies offers you the opportunity to understand economic contexts holistically while at the same time setting individual priorities.

While many Master’s degree programmes specialise in individual fields or industries, Markets and Companies takes a broader approach. The focus is on the relationships between companies, markets and economic conditions. As a result, students acquire sound analytical and strategic skills that can be used across industries and roles.

At the same time, the degree course allows students to develop an individual profile according to their own interests and career goals through a variety of compulsory elective subjects. Graduates are thus well prepared for challenging roles in companies, consulting firms, associations, public institutions or research. A successfully completed Master’s examination also entitles students to pursue a doctorate.
