The Masters programme in Leadership offers an additional qualification for students with a first degree in business administration. The programme comprises four semesters and was first introduced in the winter semester 2007/2008. Throughout the Rhein-Main region, there are no other comparable programmes that engage with the specificities of the practical activities of leaders as explicitly as the Masters programme in Leadership. In assessing and addressing the needs of industry and employers, the faculty of business and law draws on its extensive experience and relationships with various large corporations, as well as small and medium-sized companies in the region. These close relationships have yielded applied research und consultancy projects as well as jointly supervised master theses, internships and seminars that offer students an opportunity to tackle practical issues in a real-world context.Contents- The curriculum covers the full range of management and HR issues:
