About the Program

The MSc in Business Administration is one of the most highly regarded programmes for business administration in Germany. It is a general rather than a niche programme for a simple yet powerful reason – managers need to understand all aspects of business. The programme provides students with the theoretical foundations, understanding and modern management skills needed to become business, academic and public-sector leaders in a data-driven world. Its focus is on quantitative and empirical research-based education. The programme offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing students to develop a strong, broad foundation while also following their own interests. Students develop a unique profile through their choice of methodology courses, specialisations, elective courses, and thesis. During their studies, most students further strengthen this profile by working in business or completing internships. Graduates are in high demand. In business, they find work quickly, earn above average starting salaries, and enjoy positions with a high level of responsibility. Others choose to further their academic career and go on to a doctoral degree.
