Description
of the Graduate Program in Management starting
October 2009 |
|
Candidates
for the degree of Master of Science in Management
must earn 46 academic credits (equivalent to 120
ECTS credit points), and submit/present a
satisfactory master's thesis. |
|
The
first and second semesters are reserved for
obligatory graduate coursework and two elective
seminars. In the third semester, students must earn
28 ECTS points by either choosing the practice
module (guided practical internship), the international
research module (studies abroad), or the interdisciplinary
research-oriented module (course offerings from
other faculties of our university).
|
|
Academic
credits are earned by passing the written
exams that are taken in the lectures and seminars
that constitute the curriculum of the program. The
number of credits that are earned by passing an exam
is commensurate to the number of instructional hours
that are received in the lecture or seminar per week. |
|
A
master's thesis, demonstrating that
candidates have the ability to independently treat a
selected topic using the scientific methods learned
in the program, is required. It has to be written
under the supervision of a staff professor of the
faculty in English. The time limit for the
preparation and submission of this thesis in its
final form is four months. The master's thesis must
be submitted for evaluation before the deadline has
elapsed.
|
|
 Those
applicants whose Bachelor degree was
obtained in a discipline different from
Management or Economics, or whose degree is
for other reasons not deemed equivalent to
the rather mathematically oriented Bachelor's degree of our Faculty, will,
as a rule, get admission to the Master
program upon the condition precedent of one
propaedeutic semester in which,
according to the terms of the applicable Study Rules,
the following undergraduate-level subjects have to be completed
and passed successfully: Intermediate Microeconomics,
Financial
Management, Decision Analysis and Management
Accounting. The successful completion of these
subject examinations constitutes the basis for the
further continuation of the Master studies. |
