Program Description

It is not possible to predict or calculate how consumers will react in the economic cycle or how employees will react to changing processes. Business psychologists play a crucial role in answering these questions due to their sound academic and interdisciplinary training.

First, they possess the psychological expertise to positively influence and steer employees or customers. Second, they have a deep understanding of business administration, which helps them shape change processes in the organisational structure sustainably. Third, their management know-how enables them to manage internal restructuring efficiently. Business psychology and management are essential for a profitable company.

The Master in Business Psychology and Management (MSc) qualifies you for high-level management positions in marketing, advertising and strategy as well as leadership and human resources.

The Master in Business Psychology and Management (MSc) is one of the few programs in Germany that offers business psychology professional orientation in English. It has been specially tailored to the requirements of executives in international companies. Students receive excellent professional training, but also qualify in self-, project and team management, international project management as well as leadership behaviour.
