All globally active companies and organizations need specialists and managers who assume responsibility in society and the economy and make entrepreneurially sensible decisions. These decisions must be communicated to others, but at the same time be economically and socially justifiable. It is precisely this knowledge of economics that the Master of Management in the ISM distance learning program teaches and prepares you for future tasks and challenges.
The Master's degree program in Management prepares you for your future as a manager in business and teaches management skills that you need to take on management tasks. This includes technical-analytical expertise as well as analytical-quantitative methodological competence, which helps you to deal with professional challenges. In addition to the professional focus, the Management degree program aims at your social and personal development. This includes in particular the ability to work together with others in interdisciplinary, cross-functional and international teams in a goal-oriented manner and to take on leadership tasks. In addition, this degree program teaches in-depth scientific skills that will enable you to take on a leadership position e.g. in management consulting.

“What excites me about the Master's in Management is the combination of teaching the latest theories and concepts with their application in the entrepreneurial reality of the 21st century. The different specializations allow students to pursue their interests and at the same time develop interdisciplinary solutions in joint lectures such as the Digital Bootcamp in practical projects and apply what they have learned.” Prof. Dr. Andreas Helferich
