The core courses focus on the development of leadership skills and the ethical, sustainability and corporate responsibility aspects of the business world. The track modules offer students the ability to focus on one specific management domain or develop their knowledge and skills in one general management track. The elective courses allow students to further deepen their knowledge within their track or to expand their knowledge base by choosing courses in other fields. The master's thesis and business research methods develop the student's research and analytical skills. The programme offers an optional internship and allows students to participate in business projects.
