Course Description
Business administration and non-profit or public - how does that fit together? The master's degree program, which sounds contradictory at first, makes perfect sense. After all, non-profit companies, associations, and foundations also need to be managed to be successful. Cities and municipalities also need a competent and innovative administration to meet the constantly changing demands of citizens and to be able to face new challenges in global competition.
The consecutive master's program in Business Administration (Public and Non-Profit Management) offers you the opportunity to specialize in the management of public institutions and non-profit organizations. Thanks to its broad positioning and elective options, you will also have a wide range of entry opportunities in the private sector after completing your master's degree.
To study Business Administration (Public and Non-Profit Management) successfully, you should:
- be interested in business and economic issues,
- be able to imagine working in the public or non-profit sector in addition to the private sector,
- enjoy scientific work and presentation skills.
