Programme description
Are you interested in how international companies can be successfully managed, and are you keen to work with people from other cultures? Then take a moment to read the following text, as this Master’s programme might just be what you need to kick-start your career.
With a keen eye for global trends and innovations as well as an excellent instinct for fostering productive intercultural collaboration, you will guide companies to success. This degree guarantees you excellent career prospects.
And what makes this Master’s programme special is that you can study it either full-time or part-time.
In a globalised world, people are increasingly working across national borders. This applies to all industries and areas of management. That is why intercultural skills are just as important as specialist knowledge in marketing, human resources or finance. This Master’s programme teaches precisely these skills and offers a compact and targeted education.
Programme structure
The three-semester programme is divided into:
- a foundation semester
- a specialisation semester and
- a semester for the Master’s thesis.
In the specialisation semester, you can choose between two specialisations:
- Finance and Accounting
- Marketing and HRM
You will learn everything you need to succeed in a management role within an international context. You will take your knowledge to a new level within three semesters of full-time study. If you opt for the part-time programme, you will complete your studies in the sixth semester with a Master’s thesis. We offer you a broad-based programme that, in addition to specific topics in international management, also includes the option to specialise in marketing, HRM, finance or accounting — naturally, always with an international focus. And alongside the compulsory modules, you can choose specialisations from our range of compulsory electives — entirely according to your personal preferences.
