The program is a highly flexible qualification offering access to a wide range of careers in general management, marketing, operations, and technology and consultancy services. It caters to the needs of recent graduates looking for an optimal combination of theory and a practical, hands-on approach.

A choice of a dissertation or a group consulting project concludes the program. The courses are taught exclusively in English.

The Dissertation or Consulting Project
After the taught courses, students conduct an individual project on a subject relating to their studies and career. The topic is chosen by the student with input and advice from a faculty member, who acts as supervisor, working closely with the student. The dissertation is an individual 10,000- word paper of original scientific work, which upon completion is submitted for examination and approval by a three-member committee chaired by the student’s supervisor.
Alternatively, students may participate in a consulting project. Individually or in groups, students study an actual problem of a collaborating firm or organisation. Following analysis of the problem, the students prepare and present concrete and practical solution(s) in a report of min 7,000 words. https://www.ihu.gr/ucips/geninfo/consulting-project
