Programme description

The consecutive Master's programme in International Marketing & Sales is divided into the course level (first and second semesters), the semester abroad or the international project (third semester), and the research level containing the Master's thesis (fourth semester).

Semesters one and two: The course level consists of modules referring to marketing and sales as well as supporting fields of expertise. You will attend ten modules within the first two semesters. Within these modules, you will have mostly compulsory courses, but in two modules, you also have the opportunity to select different courses according to your area of interest. In the first semester, you can choose two courses, and in the second semester, you can choose four courses.

Semester three: In the third semester, you have the option to study abroad at one of our hand-selected partner universities or to take part in an international project.

Semester four: Your studies are topped off with the Master's thesis in the fourth semester. In order to be well prepared for writing the Master's thesis, you will attend a research seminar beforehand.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to write the Master's thesis abroad. This means that you can extend your semester abroad by one additional semester. There is the possibility of earning a double degree at selected partner universities.
