Management (Master of Science)

What makes management valuable and sustainable? Successful leaders will have to think strategically, lead with intelligence and steer their organisations with ethical integrity and a strong personal compass. These are the very qualities future leaders develop in the Master's programme in Management at Witten/Herdecke University. Students engage in dynamic interactions with professors, receive rigorous academic training, and utilise cutting-edge research. They will learn to apply theory to practice, exchange ideas with industry professionals, and strengthen their own civic engagement. The Management Master' programme provides advanced knowledge and skills in core management fields. Additionally, students can tailor their studies by choosing from a broad range of elective courses to develop a personalised profile. The "Studium fundamentale" offers the chance to broaden both academic and personal horizons. The capstone of the course is the Master's thesis, which provides the opportunity for students to work on an advanced and meaningful research topic. This course is designed for graduates with a BA/BSc in Business, Management or Economics who wish to specialise in corporate management, strategy and organisation. It attracts ambitious individuals who are eager to find sustainable solutions to global challenges like globalisation or digitalisation, and seek to address the management challenges these issues create. Therefore, the Management Master's degree at Witten/Herdecke University demands a high level of curiosity, openness, and intellectual perseverance in a unique academic surrounding. While the focus is on rigorous academic training, this degree programme also emphasises the connection between theory and practice as well as the application of knowledge to actual management problems.
