This post-graduate programme takes an international approach to combining theory and practice in providing the broad business administration skills needed in Marketing Management. It builds on the knowledge gained from undergraduate courses, sustainably expands skills and provides opportunities for students to independently develop creative solutions. The programme provides the skills needed to analysis and identify goal-oriented operative and strategic measures, and implement them in new and diverse settings. The individual modules are strongly interactively structured, which not only encourages the participants' presentation skills and powers of articulation but also integrates their wealth of experience and insights into the mastering of complex issues.

The International Marketing Management programme provides the skills to effectively take on demanding management and executive tasks in companies active in international markets and is recognised as qualifying graduates to apply for posts in the senior German civil service - in line with the joint guidelines agreed by the Standing Conference of the Interior Ministers of the Länder (Innenministerkonferenz) and the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (Kultusministerkonferenz).
The first semester contains foundation modules and the second semester specialist in-depth studies. The third semester is reserved for the researching and preparing the thesis. If a student takes a placement, the programme extends from three to four semesters. Teaching is entirely in English, giving students an opportunity to sustainably improve their comprehension and speaking skills in an English context. This approach also reflects the standard requirements for applicants hoping to work in international companies.
Classes are conducted in a combined lecture/seminar format where students are expected to play an active part. Case studies form one main plank in teaching since this allows the expertise acquired to be applied to real-life issues and problems in practice.
