Your skills are our mission. This is what we can teach you
You will gain a range of scientific skills, and you can really put them to good use. Business management decisions often have far-reaching consequences: They determine the economic success of companies and public institutions – and ultimately people’s jobs. People who make knowledge-based decisions have a distinct advantage! Those who can also always be sure that they are on solid legal ground have a bonus that will pay dividends later.
- All you need in the practical setting. Around 40 percent of our lecturers are also successful practitioners. What we offer you is not abstract, but rather something that allows you to soar.
- Triumph with soft skills. The world of work needs team players who are able to operate in a creative and goal-oriented manner, regardless of subjects and cultures. In our seminars you will learn how to boost inspiration and efficiency in group work. Here, you will develop into a moderator and manager of projects.
- Aim for the sky after graduation. Graduates in this field typically find a job straight after graduation and are highly sought after on the job market.
