Programme content
The central aim of the degree programme is to qualify students to take on management tasks in the customer-related functions of marketing, sales and service in the short to medium term. The realisation of this task is achieved through a clear understanding of the interaction between the levels of concept or strategy, process and information technology in customer-related areas. This skills profile is becoming increasingly important, particularly due to increasing digitalisation, and is in high demand in practice.
Course of studies
The three-semester, application-oriented and consecutive Master's degree programme in Market-oriented Corporate Management consists of two theoretical semesters and a final semester with a Master's thesis and possible practical relevance. In the 3rd semester in particular, there is also the opportunity to go abroad if desired.
The "informal" setting of this degree programme offers students optimal conditions for exchanging ideas with fellow students and professors and building up a strong social network, which is also valuable beyond the period of study.
