Specializations

Specialization in Management

In this specialization, your knowledge and skills are deepened in the three core areas of business management: the derivation of successful strategies on the basis of market analyses, the organisation and control of business structures and processes, and the selection, qualification and management of personnel. You can choose from a wide range of courses on marketing, human resources management, corporate management or strategic planning. Current research results are also presented and discussed in the courses. This specialization qualifies you in particular for activities in marketing and personnel management, in strategic planning or organisational development and in the management of companies in all sectors, but also in other organisations such as educational institutions, institutions of the health system or public authorities.

Specialization in Finance, Accounting and Taxation

In this specialization you will focus on questions of external and internal corporate accounting (accounting, controlling) and corporate taxation. Here you will acquire a highly topical training which is ideally suited for your entry into professional practice and which will qualify you for a career in specialist departments (accounting, controlling, finance, taxes) of large companies, in auditing, business and tax consulting companies as well as in commercial management positions.

Specialization in Information Systems

In this specialization you will focus on information management in companies. This includes the design and use of business information systems for and by decision makers, the modelling of business processes and the design of application systems. Here you will acquire an education that prepares you for a wide range of professional opportunities, particularly at the interfaces between IT and central corporate functions.
