Overview

Our Master in Management aims at national and international students with a bachelor’s degree in business or economics.

Mission

• to develop your critical faculties based on scientific methods and insights, to take a multi-disciplinary yet integrative approach and to foster decision-making based on ethical principles
• to develop your ability to analyze, evaluate, decide, shape and implement business policies, and to apply and assess scientific and practical methods
• to train your decision-making abilities via problem-based and decision-oriented learning in small groups and via case- and project-based learning
• to enable students to take on responsibility and exert leadership in an entrepreneurial spirit
• to understand the theories, principles and practice of logistics and supply chain management (if chosen)

Course Structure

Our two-year master’s program starts each September and is divided into six trimesters. The degree equates to 120 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System). 

Modules in Advanced Business Sciences and Scientific Methods and Business Skills provide a solid foundation for tackling interdisciplinary, problem-based Integration Projects, in which you and your team develop management solutions to real-world issues. Specialization Modules in Logistics would cover topics like Operations Research and Operations Management. Students learn to understand current and to explore, evaluate and implement new strategic options by deeply understanding and anticipating their supply chain management repercussions.

Internship & Trimester Abroad

After the third trimester you will complete an internship, which you may choose to do abroad. This gives you the opportunity to put into practice the concepts and methods you have learnt and to identify relevant business problems for your master’s thesis.      

During the fourth trimester, which is spent abroad at one of our partner schools in Europe, Asia and the Americas, you will then be able to acquire intercultural knowledge and experience the unique life of an exchange student.

Master's thesis

During the final part of your studies you complete a master’s thesis where you can research your primary area of interest in depth. It is possible to integrate a real world problem of a company in the composition of your  master’s thesis. Upon successful completion of the program, THE KLU will award a state-recognized and accredited Master of Science degree.
