Combining business administration and psychology - Master's in Business Psychology curriculum
Study program - Master Psychology & Management
The M.Sc. Psychology & Management combines two exciting disciplines: business administration and psychology. In the foundation semester, you will receive a general and broad education in applied psychology in a business context. Building on this, you will specialize in the 2nd semester and spend a semester abroad at one of our numerous partner universities in the 3rd semester.
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 in the fourth semester.
If you wish to shorten your studies to only 3 semesters, you can select the Fast Track option, in which you graduate with only 90 ECTS and skip the semester abroad. More details below.
