About the Programme

This programme is directed to you who already have a Bachelor's degree in a specific subject area and who are interested in a career as a manager in your future working life. Upon completion of the programme you will be able to deal with complex management problems and understand the conditions of management in your specific field of expertise. You will also be able to reflect on your own role as a leader as well as demonstrate an ability to assess social and ethical consequences of managerial decisions. The Master of Science in Management provides an intellectually challenging environment, combining theoretical studies with practical realities. When you are able to independently account for a theoretical argument, apply this to practical reality and, at the same time, develop both, we can say that we have reached our aim.

The programme consists of 60 credits core courses, 30 credits elective courses from other Master's programmes at Graduate School and a 30 credits Master Degree project. The elective courses can for example be within innovation management, event and tourism, marketing or international business.

After graduation from the Management programme you can enter a variety of professions. Alumni from the programme can be found as brand managers, project coordinators, management consultants, programme managers or PhD students.
