The study programme
The generally structured Master's degree course in Economics comprises four semesters of full-time studies.
The course educates academics, who learn to extend their problem-solving skills to new and unfamiliar situations with a broad or multi-disciplinary bearing on their study subject. They are enabled to take largely autonomous action in planning, controlling and monitoring independent, application-oriented problems. Besides imparting well-founded subject knowledge and familiarising students with different scientific teaching doctrines, the contents and formal aspects of the teaching aim to impart the ability to recognise and solve practical operational problems.The course has a modular structure.
The first and second semesters are explicitly devoted to Economics. Contents related to Economics are included in all modules. The formation of individual profiles follows in the second and third semesters. The elective subjects Health Management, International Business Management and Green Business Management allow the specialisation introduced in the Bachelor's course to be expanded and intensified or, if desired, to open up other areas of interest. In keeping with this aim, interest focuses primarily on discussing scientific research approaches and the acquisition of expanded management competences.
The degree programme Economics - International Business Management prepares students for specialist and management positions in international companies. During your studies, you will receive numerous opportunities to network and exchange interdisciplinary with other students of the department of Business Science. Thus, the integrative study concept not only expands your interdisciplinary knowledge horizon, but also strengthens your soft skills, which are indispensable for future leadership positions in the economy.
