Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Wirtschaftswissenschaften
One-year Master in Corporate Management & Economics | CME
Innovative, interdisciplinary, individualized and international – a cutting-edge management qualification | Two-year master's in CME
For pre-thinkers and post-thinkers: our CME master for in-depth study.
Decision-makers and entrepreneurs are confronted more than ever with challenges that can no longer be solved within the traditional business administration functional areas and with conventional management training alone. A Master's degree in economics, which combines business and economic perspectives, takes this development into account.
It is not only business schools that regularly underestimate the fact that shaping social, industrial and technological change in a way that is appropriate to the complexity and pace of change is central to the future viability of organizations and economic developments.
We believe in breadth in depth. We believe in generalists capable of specialization and interdisciplinary experts for the undisciplined - because economic problems do not adhere to disciplinary boundaries.
More than just a Master's in Business Administration
We are convinced that the combination of business administration and economics with aspects of communication and cultural studies as well as political and administrative sciences according to the ideal of an entrepreneurial generalist education will enable you to face the complex leadership and management challenges of the 21st century - including digital transformation, complex and international organizational structures, fragmentation of markets - with more composure.
That's why the one-year Master of Science in Corporate Management & Economics offers you more than just a Master's degree in business administration. We focus on raising your awareness of complex and interdisciplinary problems - because intelligent and sustainable decisions require more than just the accumulation of specialist knowledge.

Get involved with your questions
Bring in your questions and we will consistently and critically question traditional and current theories, business models, organizational and leadership modes, including the associated social systems - and not just in your final thesis, but also as part of a curricular but optional research project. We believe that you will acquire individualized, international and innovative skills that you willuse productively in your career in knowledge-intensive public, non-profit and private sectors as well as in academia to find independent answers to the economic problems of tomorrow. You too?
