During the first two semesters of studying management master at ISM, you will deepen your already acquired business administration knowledge and learn how to convince clients of your strategy proposals thanks to new competences in managing consulting projects. In order to sharpen your international profile, you can choose your own major in International Controlling, International Operations or Digital Marketing.

You will spend the third semester at one of our numerous partner universities abroad, in Europe or overseas. You will then write your practice-oriented Master's thesis in the fourth semester. This means that you will receive your degree with 120 ECTS already in the fourth semester.
