The Elite Graduate Program offers outstanding students from Germany and abroad a master’s degree in one of the following four fields: business administration, economics, international economics and business informatics. By imparting scientifically sound and practically relevant knowledge, students are prepared for executive work in business, economics and administration, and are introduced to the forefront of international research. In their chosen degree program, the students gather methodologically sound scientific concepts.
Die Studierenden erlernen in ihrem gewählten Gebiet methodisch fundierte Konzepte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Darauf aufbauend schafft der Master-Studiengang durch eine jährliche „Honors“-Akademie, ein „Honors“-Seminar sowie im Rahmen von Workshops durchgeführten Case Studies den Studierenden vielfältige Möglichkeiten zu einer umfassenden und interdisziplinären Ausbildung.
Zudem stärkt der Elitestudiengang „Honors-Wirtschaftswissenschaften“ den internationalen Austausch:
Die „Honors“- Studierenden absolvieren mindestens ein Semester im Ausland. Schließlich ermöglichen Exkursionen zu führenden internationalen Unternehmen sowie Institutionen der Verwaltung und Wissenschaft den Studentinnen und Studenten gewinnbringende Einblicke in die Praxis.


Wir wählen die besten Studierenden aus, fordern sie mit einem anspruchsvollen Studiengang und machen sie so zu Spitzenabsolventen, die Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft brauchen.
