About the Program

The Master's program in General Management combines scientific rigor with practical application. Students receive an in-depth economic education, enabling them to apply their knowledge in professional practice. The program provides application-oriented teaching of business administration knowledge and skills, preparing academics with non-economic or not purely economic degrees for high-quality management positions requiring scientifically-based knowledge and methods. Students develop a deep understanding of economic relationships, necessary professional and methodological knowledge, competence to apply business administration findings and methods, ability to think and work independently in economic matters, and improve leadership, decision-making, and communication skills. The program builds on the foundation established in the first degree for handling demanding tasks in professional practice. A specific feature is the networking of newly acquired management competencies with knowledge from the first degree. The program includes a six-week practical phase in the third semester, concluding with a scientific project paper.
