Management

HHL's Master of Science in Management is perfectly structured to meet your individual needs. Compulsory core modules provide you with the backbone of the programme. Our elective courses allow you to compose the programme according to your interests. You are able to choose four out of eight options for professional specialisation. Build your business knowledge foundation from the following pillars: Accounting, Finance, Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Marketing Management, Strategy, Advanced Economics and Advanced General Management.
Synthesising the knowledge and experience gained in classes, the student consulting project and the semester abroad, the Master's thesis constitutes the culmination of the programme. The task is to develop practical and applicable solutions to real-life problems in the framework of rigorous academic research.

Educational organisation

We cater to your personal time constraints by offering two programme designs. You can either choose to finish your studies faster or to complete additional internships; you can decide for yourself and select the model that works best for your individual career planning.
The 24-month programme consists of eight terms, including a mandatory internship and a study period abroad at one of HHL's more than 130 partner universities. The sixth term is reserved for an optional internship. Students who wish to shorten their study duration can write their Master's thesis in term six, thus shortening the programme to 21 months.
HHL also offers a part-time Master of Science in Management.
