#Study abroad experience
Discover something new in Hungary
Annika Störkel wanted to spend her semester abroad on her Master's in Business Psychology in a country she had never been to before and get to know a culture she knew very little about. "As Corvinus University in Budapest has an excellent reputation, my decision was quickly made," explains Störkel.
How Can I Apply?
Admission to the postgraduate Business Psychology degree program at ISM is not restricted by a numerus clausus (NC). Rather than your grades, we'd like to know more about your motivation, skills and personality structure, so our university conducts an internal online admissions test.
You can study Psychology and Management in Dortmund in English, as well as in Munich, Hamburg, Cologne and Stuttgart in German with English modules.
- Bachelor's degree (at least 180 ECTS)
- complete application documents
- Successful participation in the admission test
#Springboard to Your Career
Successful in job and research
The combination of business studies and psychology is incredibly helpful in my job, as I can look at HR from both sides. Topics such as motivation, management culture, working conditions and psychological procedures were important subjects during my studies, which I now encounter on a daily basis in my job. ISM is also very practice-oriented. Many professors come from the business world, so I gained first-hand knowledge that I can put into practice today.
