Your springboard for the nonprofit, healthcare and public sectors

The part-time master's program offers industry-specific general management training with a focus on nonprofit organizations and public institutions. With experts from science and practice, the state of the art and trends in nonprofit and public management are worked on in small groups so that sound industry-specific skills are acquired at master's level.

As part of the course, students independently carry out projects for nonprofit organizations and public institutions.
