Study Content

The Master's degree enables you to add academic depth to specialist focus areas from the basic study programme or to add further focus areas. In addition, it focuses on Corporate Management and Accounting.

Through its numerous elective options, the syllabus of the Master's degree offers maximum scope for individual specialisation in accordance with your career goals.

Focus on Corporate Management

You can also take the cross-cutting topic of Corporate Management in different variants, depending on your career goals. These variants focus either on topics like International Accounting, Corporate Value, Auditing and Finance or on SME-oriented topics like Entrepreneurship, Innovation Management, Organisation and Human Resources.

Practical and Research Projects

The study programme makes provision for three project phases, in which you can apply yourself either to scientific problems (research projects) or practically oriented projects in companies. During the projects, which can be completed as individual or group projects, you will remain in constant dialogue with your supervising professor. Students who choose project activities in companies can gather up to seven months' practical experience during their studies in this way and can follow up, on request, with the three-month master's thesis directly in the company.
