First semester
In the first semester you should take the basic modules "Problemlösungs- und Kommunikationskompetenz” (Problem Solving and Communication Skills), "Forschungsmethoden” (Research Methods) and "Career Development".
The basic modules teach fundamental theoretical and practical management skills as well as important key competences at the same time. This knowledge prepares you for your later career entry as well as for the further course of your studies.
You can also take the first modules from your chosen focus area (see second semester).
Second semester
The basic module "Praxisprojekt” (Practical Project) should be taken in the second semester.
In addition, you can choose different specialisations according to your own interests in the Master's programme in Management and thus give your studies an individual profile and acquire specific professional qualifications. You take the required modules (30 credits) from the specialisation area in the first to third semester.
You can choose from the following specialisations:
- Innovation & Entrepreneurship Management
- International Management
- Leadership & Human Resource Management
- Marketing & E-Business Management
- Corporate Control & Supply Chain Management
- Business Development & Strategic Management
When you have completed successfully all of the courses (modules) assigned to the chosen specialisation, each totalling at least 30 credits, certification will be awarded by means of a degree "Master in Management with the specialisation (NN)".
At least 6 credits and a maximum of 12 credits of these 30 credits must be selected through modules from the area of in-depth research methods. The chosen modules from the area of in-depth research methods must be assigned to the chosen specialisation.
If you do not choose a specific focus, but instead wish to pursue a generalist education, you can choose the focus "General Management".
