Who do we recommend to apply?

We advise you to submit your application if you are interested in intensive academic studies in management and marketing and you would like to discuss with professors. This means that you prefer to work interactively in groups rather than passively on slides and to study a semester at a foreign university in order to develop personally.

Who do we recommend not to apply?

However, the M&M study course is not suitable for applicants who are primarily interested in a very practice-oriented study program with a low workload, who do not want to gain experience abroad and do not want to read an English-language literature. Since this is a full-time study course with an obligation to attend and regular presentations and discussions, all applicants that are planning to work more than ten hours per week or are planning to study for more than 4 semesters should not apply.

Curriculum

This is a two-year Master’s program. In the first year, the curriculum provides the students with foundational management and marketing knowledge and skills. The second year offers the students the opportunity to gain deeper insights into individual areas of interest as well as the chance to gather intercultural experience.
