With 180 ECTS or if you lack the 30 credits in management, you can enrol in a pre-course and graduate after four semesters.
Are you interested in the new possibilities offered by digitalisation? Then the four-semester version with the specialisation in "Digital Leadership" might be interesting for you. It can be studied with 180 ECTS.

- Description/content
- Our MA in Business Management course of study will enable you to take your knowledge from your Bachelor’s programme to the management level and optimise your career prospects. Based on the system-oriented St. Gallen Management Approach, you will be enabled to successfully manage the most diverse companies and institutions. You will have the opportunity to choose between three different major specialisations: International Sales Management, People and Culture, and IT Management.
In the four-semester version of this course, you can specialise in Digital Leadership to be prepared for the demands of the working world of tomorrow. This variant offers the opportunity to obtain a double degree in cooperation with Sapienza Università di Roma (https://www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina-strutturale/home).
In this course of study, we want to find an ideal balance between theory and practice, to prepare you as a student for the world of work, while giving you all the necessary theoretical expertise. Local businesses, which are important partners of HdWM, are involved in designing and teaching the management studies and giving you opportunities for real work experience.
Lectures at HdWM use case studies to give you insights into how management theories are applicable in the real world. In addition, you can profit from the hands-on management experience that our professors and managers from partner companies have.
In all study programmes, you get a chance to see how management theories work under real-life conditions, by participating in a mandatory internship or a research project, which is an ideal preparation for the Master's thesis.
