In the Master’s programme in European Business Management – Green Economy and Sustainability, you deepen your business knowledge and expand it with international, strategic and sustainability-related skills that particularly strengthen the European perspective.

The four-semester, English-taught programme provides you with the knowledge and skills to analyse economic relationships, particularly in a European context, make well-founded management decisions and actively shape sustainable transformation processes in companies.

The programme combines academic foundations with practice-oriented teaching and international study experiences. Its aim is to prepare you for demanding specialist and management roles in an increasingly globalised and sustainability-oriented economy.

The programme focuses on international management with a European perspective, strategic corporate management and sustainable business practices.

At the beginning of your studies, you explore business contract law, financial analysis, Corporate Social Responsibility and global economic policy. You learn to understand international and, in particular, European economic relations and to assess business decisions from different perspectives.

As your studies progress, you deepen your knowledge of Strategic Management and Organizational Behavior. Using innovative methods such as Design Thinking, you develop creative solutions to complex business challenges.

A particular emphasis is placed on the Green Economy and Sustainability Management. You examine sustainable business models, the circular economy, responsible supply chains and the implementation of sustainability strategies. In Sustainable Project Management, you also learn to integrate environmental, social and economic objectives into project planning and implementation.

The Master’s programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Through case studies, group work and project-based courses, you address current business challenges and develop your own solutions.

In the Guided Company Project in the second semester, you apply the knowledge you have acquired to a practical task in direct cooperation with companies from the regional and wider economy. In doing so, you strengthen your skills in project management, teamwork and the development of well-founded recommendations for action.

Another compulsory component of the programme is the semester abroad in the third semester. During your stay at a university elsewhere in Europe or internationally, you expand your subject knowledge, gain international experience and further develop your intercultural skills.

In the fourth semester, you deepen your knowledge of Green Economy, Sustainability Management and Sustainable Project Management.

For your Master’s thesis, you independently investigate an academic research question within the subject area of the programme. You then present and discuss your findings in a colloquium.

Upon successful completion, you are awarded the academic degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.).
