In the Master's program Applied Economics and Management (120 ECTS, 4 semesters) students are offered an advanced training in economics. This includes the teaching of insights from the fields of business and economics and about the links of these two disciplines. The students will thus acquire the ability to combine research questions from business and economics. The program focuses on developing problem solving and analytical competences.
The study prepares students for a career as economics expert and managerial positions in business and the public sectors and in public administration, for example in the field of financial management, strategic management or economic policy consulting.
Apart from compulsory modules in the core areas of business and economics, the study program provides the opportunity to specialize in accordance with the interests and career goals of students on individual topics. A sensible combination of business and economic approaches is key in this choice. The students acquire knowledge of modern methods of empirical economic research, which are used as analytical tools in many economic questions. The courses are offered mainly in English giving students the opportunity to acquire active and passive language skills.
